T gives Ss time think of the positive and negative things about the book and maybe take some notes
T focuses the Ss on one of the reviews from the previous lesson and gives them a useful language box. T let Ss elicit how it should be organized
T sets an audience for the review - a school magazine. T gives Ss some paper to write on. T gets Ss to choose a scribe/secretary to be responsible for writing. In groups where someone has not read the book, they should be the scribe so they have a clear role. Ss work together to write their review. T monitors and helps where needed
T puts the Ss on the walls and Ss can walk around to read them- and maybe decide if they would like to read the book being reviewed - or if they read it already, decide if they agree with the review. T takes some general FB
