3 Column Book Reviews



I wish I has seen this before book week - it's a great idea - a book review in three comic strip frames - a great revision tool for senior classes for any text - a great junior activity also.

I'm thinking about a competition for Term 4.

Check them out here...3 Column Book Review

I liked this one on Moby Dick.
