Ideas to Ponder on IDENTITY

• Some aspects of our identities are consistent
• ver our lives; others change as we gain skills

and have different roles in life.

• Some aspects of our identities feel very central

to who we are no matter where we are; others might feel more like background or depend on the situation.

• Some identities are labels that others put on us,

While others see us as having that identity, we don't.

In the social jungle of human existence, there is no feeling of being alive without a sense of identity.

• Erik Erikson

How to Write a Book Review

A book review's purpose is to help people decide whether or not the book would interest them enough to read it. Reviews are a sneak peek at a book, not a summary.

• What was the author’s purpose in writing the

book?

• Did the author accomplish that purpose?
• Who is the target audience for the book?
• What do you think is the book’s greatest value?
• What makes it special or worthwhile?
• Are the facts shared accurate?
• Is the book interesting and hold your attention?
• Would it be a useful addition to a school or

public library?

• If the book is a biography or autobiography, how

relatable is the subject?

• Is it easy to understand the ideas?
• Are there extra features that add to the

enjoyment of the book, such as maps, indexes, glossaries, or other materials?

• Are the illustrations helpful?
