Judge a British Book by Its Cover

Judge A Book By Its Cover is the internet's premier website for book reviews and synopses based totally on the book's cover.

Read the "About" page for your "book review" of a British book. Your assignment is to create a book review from the cover of a British book. Later we will learn more about the actual subject matter of the book.

This will give the class a chance to do the following:

1. Review essay writing
2. Gain an overview of the different eras of British literature
3. Gain a brief introduction to some of the British writing
