After almost an entire school year of assessing students' reading, writing, and speaking, I have decided to assess this blog's rating system once more. Prior to the school year beginning, I made some changes to the rating system. At that time, they were more drastic than this change. I felt the use of pictures to be easier on the eyes with more of a straightforward approach to rating the books I read. When reviewing a book, I would show which row of books I was giving the bookI felt that the reader of the review would be unable to get a grasp of how many books were being used. Often, I, too, would ask myself, "So what does that mean?" or "How many Goodreads stars does that equate to?" My solution is the system below. Instead of the confusing row of books, pictures of books are used to measure how well I did or did not enjoy the book. The meaning of each rating has been slightly trimmed. For easy reference, you can now find the system on the righthand side, too, above the Archives. If you blog about books, what kind of system do you use?
What do you think of the changes to my system? Are they more helpful to understand the rating for a book? Comment below!
