For a book report, I made a Glogster about a book called, "Graceling". It was fantasy-fiction about two teenagers - a young man and woman, and their struggles as they grapple with un-blockable forces and seemingly invincible foes. Graceling is a book you cannot put down – there is action in every paragraph. It is a novel chock full of adventure, thrill, friendship, and an unsuspected romance.
I thought that this book was fairly easy to put into a Glogster. It was very obvious who were the protagonists (good guys), and who was the antagonist (bad guy). Again, the setting was simple - the book is in a fictional land named several times in the book; internal and external conflicts were distinct, and the theme was prominent as well. The only problem I had was finding the different awards Graceling had won and information about the author. I accidentally overlooked the fact that I had to put those in, so I returned my book before I could look that information up. I had to research it over the internet, and, unfortunately, it was difficult to find. The good thing was I did manage to find something after a little research. All in all, I believe that I put my maximum effort into this project, and I did my best to make sure that my online poster was visually attractive.

I don''t know if you know this, but Cashore did another book, called fire. ( http://kristincashore.blogspot.com/2008/02/my-books.html ) It was exceptional. Also, a note: when writing a summary of a book report, assume that the person reading the summary, has not read the report. Make sure to remember to add the author's name in your summary..
ReplyDeleteI did read that book, and I also thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you for reminding me about the author's name. I will remember that for the future. :)
