Comment Questions to Consider:

1. Why did you choose this title/student response? What did you like about the student's review? Did the student's review interest you further on the book or the topic? How and Why?
   




2. Can you recommend other book or movie titles that would interest the student reviewer on this topic?
   




3. If you read the same book, did you agree with the other student's review? Why or why not? What additional elements did you discuss? Is there something you would like to add to the student's review?

Please be sure to identify the book title and student you are addressing in your comment. Also, review posting directions carefully. Be sure you include your name under the name/url section.
