The Giants Necklace - Part 3 - Book Review

The "Giants Necklace - Part 3" book review template by KS2Gems is an engaging and structured way for children to express their thoughts and opinions about the fiction book they have read. It encourages detailed examination and reflection on various aspects of the story. The review starts by asking the student to describe two main characters from the book, delving into their personalities, traits, and the roles they play within the narrative. It also prompts the reviewer to identify and explain their favourite character, providing reasons for their choice, which helps to develop critical thinking and personal expression.

Further sections of the review focus on the plot and setting. The student is instructed to recount the plot in sequential order, highlighting the principal events that drive the story forward. This exercise not only aids comprehension but also helps in practicing summarization skills. When discussing the setting, the student is asked to describe one of the story's backdrops in detail, which can include the time period, location, and atmosphere, adding depth to their understanding of the story's context. Finally, the review culminates with an overall rating of the book and a section where the student can describe their favourite part of the story, encouraging them to use descriptive and interesting vocabulary to convey their thoughts vividly. This comprehensive approach to book reviewing fosters a deeper appreciation for literature and enhances communication skills.
