=WELCOME TO THE BOOK REVIEW WIKI =

This wiki is open for anyone to contribute book reviews of any kind (text, video, audio, or any combination of the three). Please contribute and enjoy.

WELCOME STUDENTS
Welcome to this shared wikispace. The wiki is organized alphabetically by author's last name. So, when you add an author, please refer to him or her by " last name, first name" using "heading 1" size text. Then write your review. and (see 'O' and the example of Scott O'Dell for an example). If there is already a listing for an author of the book for which you have a review, just add your review under the author's name. Use this as a place to read some reviews and find book titles you might be interested in reading. Feel free to disagree, respectfully, with the reviews of other students. Please leave your name (first only is fine) grade, and school, if your teacher is ok with that, and/or state.

WELCOME TEACHERS
The idea for this wiki came out of discussions on the [|PLP] year 2 ning. However, anyone is welcome to participate. Use the reviews to help choose books with your students or to share your students' reviews. The site is arranged alphabetically by author's last name. Please help your students comment and contribute respectfully. One of the reasons I started this wiki was to give my students a place to share book comments so that my class could learn how to participate in an online situation that involved students beyond our classroom. If you or your students need tutorials about how to use wikis check out [|this].

ORGANIZATIONAL NOTE
I thought about the organization for a while and couldn't come up with a better plan than the alphabet. People have different ideas of what genres books fit into and the same goes for grade-level. So, I went with alphabetical. Go the the Letter corresponding to the author's last name. If you don't see the author lists, add him or her using Heading 1 from the drop down menu in the text editor that appears when you are in "edit" mode. That way, authors will be easy to find in the table of contest for each page. If you have a better idea, please email me.

TAGS
While I think it would be great to tag books in all sorts of ways so that the informatin would be searchable, the tags would be attached to a page not a book entry. Therefore, pretty soon every tag would be attached to every page. Not very helpful. So, feel free to add tehy type of book to your review or the age level for which you think it is best. It just won't be an official tag.
