"Bought this game cause I love Elite Beat Agents and Osu! (for the Nintendo DS)... They're similar in a sense, though instead of tapping the most of the circles like in EBA, you 'slide' the stylus most of the time in this game... Still it's a LOT of fun! (Sorry if the camera is a little shaky) (YouTube description. About the game, see e.g. http://www.commonsensemedia.org/game-reviews/looney-tunes-cartoon-conductor ) "

As part of a language arts or reading program, students read novels throughout the school year. Some of the novels are assigned, read, and discussed "all class." Others are chosen by the students individually, and they keep individual reading lists. Students may be required to read a certain number per marking period, per school year, and over the summer. Some may be classics; other trade novels, but all contribute to the overall reading and comprehension abilities of the students. This unit can be done as a culminating activity for the school year. Students are asked to choose their two favorite novels from the ones they have read. They write reviews and post them online for students in their own school, in other schools, across the United States, and in other countries to read. The student reviews not only help student readers clarify their own understanding of literature, they also provide a "student-to-student" resource. Other students can choose novels based on opinions of their peers. The students review the novels, write descriptions that will appeal to other readers, and indicate the level of reading difficulty. They do this to help others choose novels suitable for their reading levels.
