Book: Tuck Everlasting
Skill: Making Connections
Good readers will make connections to what they are reading to their own lives. In this story, a young girl named Winnie is frustrated because her family won’t leave her alone. She feels like she is being looked at all the time. Do you or have you ever felt this way? Explain your connection to Winnie.
Skill: Personification
Identify one example of personification on pg. 14 or 21 and describe how the use of personification in that example helps the reader visualize. This is practice, so as long as you try, you won't lose points. If you honestly cannot find any examples, write in your notebook, "I have looked and cannot find any examples but I know that personification is…" and explain personification. The only way to lose points on this assignment is if you do not respond to the question at all.

The book i read this summer was The one and only Ivan. By Katherine Applegate it was a very touching book about a gorilla's life and how hard it is to be him. I thought it was a very funny book and a very sad book at the same time. It is really cool to see Ivan(the gorilla) become a loving, grumpy,funny guardian. I recommend this book because you can relate to it in so many ways. It also tells you to never give up and you will always get there.
ReplyDeleteOne of the books I read this summer was Powerless by Matthew Cody. Powerless was a great book about how kids with superpowers called "Supers" meet a normal kid, and how they end up fighting a super villain. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes superheroes. If you finish the book, and really enjoy it, then you might like the next book in the series, called Super.
ReplyDeleteI read "The Candymakers" by Wendy Mass over the summer. I loved it. The story is told from different point of views and while I was reading it I had to get some chocolate out of the pantry. If you love candy this is the book for you. Make sure to check it out!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe book I read this summer was called The Postcard by Tony Abbott. It could possibly be a good book for people if you like mystery, but I on the other hand I would not recommend this book. It was really boring and I think there should have been more action and more suspense. If I were to rate this book I would give it a 2* rating because of its content and suspense.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I read another one of Tony Abbott's books that wasn't good either. If your looking for mystery, these are good mysterious books. I suggest the Amulet graphic novel series by Kazu Kubushki, Magic Thief, Harry Potter series, Spider Wick series, The Masterpiece by Elise Broach illustrated by Kelly Murphy, and Shakespeare Secret both wrote and illustrated by Elise Broach.
Love Reading, Love Language Arts
I read The Hunger Games over the summer it was a very good book it was a girl named katniss who lived in district 12 and was picked for the hunger games. I really enjoyed this book and I'm on third book I would definitely recommend this book
