Activity: Search the internet for books
I need your help to decide what books to order for next
year. Your mission: browse this site(www.flr.follett.com) for book reviews using
the following steps. Find a book that you would like to read and fill out the
information on this form(or you can ask for a paper copy if you would rather do
it with a pencil or pen). Remember this is a big responsibility and that I will be
looking at each request seriously so please take time to read about each book
before you decide. Yes, you may send more than one of these!
