Book Review

You will complete a 3-4 page book review of a non-fiction book of your choice that is relevant to the period and region that we are studying (America until 1865). The review will consist of 1 page of summary and 2+ pages of what you think about the book, how it fits into history, and its relevance. It will done in 11 point Times-New Roman script and submitted to the Drop Box in the Lessons page. I’m interested in what you have to say about the book more than I am interested in the book itself, and if you include much of your own opinions it will help your grade. Remember this is 20% of your final grade. Double-spaced.

Things to consider when you read your book & write your review: did you like it; was the author biased; is it important in its field; were you surprised; did it change your opinion;where does it fit in history; is it important; what about sources; reader bias; plus whatever you can think of that is relevant!Other things you may to mention: any what does the book mean to you, should others read this book, why is it important.
