The Explorer - Session 27 - Book Review

The 'Fiction Book Review' worksheet by KS2Gems is a comprehensive tool for young readers to express their thoughts and opinions on a fictional story they have read. The worksheet encourages detailed analysis, starting with the characters. Students are asked to describe two main characters from the story, providing an in-depth look at their traits, motivations, and roles within the narrative. They are also prompted to reflect on their personal connection to the characters by identifying their favourite one and elaborating on the reasons behind their choice.

Moving on to the plot, the worksheet guides students to recount the events of the story in chronological order, ensuring that they focus on the main events that drive the narrative forward. This exercise not only tests comprehension but also helps in understanding story structure. Additionally, the worksheet asks for a detailed description of one of the story's settings, allowing students to explore and articulate the backdrop against which the story unfolds. To conclude the review, students are asked to rate the book overall and to share their favourite part of the story, justifying their selection with detailed reasoning. The use of interesting vocabulary is encouraged throughout the review, aiding in the development of expressive language skills.
