Newbery Book Review

This site is intended to be a resource for completion of a Reading project for Mr. Martin's
6th grade Reading/Spelling class.  It is not intended to be a WebQuest.  On it you will find sites used to aid in the production of a book review of a Newbery Medal or Newbery Honor book.

Literary Elements

Literary elements will be reviewed and stressed throughout this project.  Students will be held accountable for understanding the required parts of each element as they are discussed in class.  Below is a link with good information on each element.  Not all information on this site will be covered in class discussion and therefore will not be included in the material that students will be tested on.
