Your task this month is to read "The Wreck of the Zanzibar" and write down what you think about this book so that other people can read what you have written. You can share your piece of writing in a variety of ways:-
-
on-line on a site like Amazon on-line
-
on your school's web-site on-line
-
on this site if you post it to Aunt Edwina first
-
in a folder in your classroom or school library so that other pupils can read about the book and add their own reviews of other books for other people to read
-
as part of a classroom display
