English Activity
In your 2Dos on Purplemash complete the ‘Book Review’ activity.
Now that you have finished reading The Lost Myth of Mathos, write a detailed review about the story.
As you are writing your book review, think about the following:
- Does the book fit into a genre, such as mystery, romance, adventure and why? What are the main themes in the story? Kindness, friendships, bravery etc.
e.g The Lost Myth of Mathos is a gripping adventure story that takes the reader on a treacherous journey into a fantasy world of enormous giants and deadly sea monsters. This is a tale about bravery, unlikely heroes and even more unlikely friendships.
- Give brief summary of the plot but don’t give away too much!
- Give your own opinion the book and some examples to support this.
- For example, were the characters believable or likeable?
- Did the author describe them well?
- Was there anything you liked or disliked about the author’s writing style?
- Did you like the way the author used interesting words or detailed descriptions to help you paint a picture in your head?
- Was there a scene or chapter that really moved you? Why?
You could even include a couple of short quotes from the book to back up your answers!
- Stars out of 5!
We are both really looking forward to reading these!
