WALT read and understand a whole novel
Hi guys!
This week was the final week of the phantom of terawhiti novel studies. So everybody has finished their book, slideshow and glossary. Our create task for this week was to create a book review of the novel. We also had to our glossary words and finish our slideshow. The book was pretty good, I guess, but I found it boring at times. Here is all my stuff from this week including my glossary and slideshow. 🙂
