Hello,
Please do the following:
421: I am entrusting you with the decision to create your own book groups based on the Holocaust book list I provided online. Please keep your reading level in mind. If you're not sure if the book is on your level use the 5 finger rule for selecting a "Just Right" book. Select a Holocaust nonfiction and fiction book using the links on the previous blog. You must have this book by Friday. Go to your nearest library and check www.queenslibrary.org. to find the locations that have your book. Due 5.10.13. Read the blurbs provided on the sites to make the selections that you will enjoy!
401: Select one fiction Holocaust book from the links I provided in class. If you are not able to go online, use the school's lab, visit the library by asking your parents first, come during lunch to room 421 and I believe some of you can access it using your cell phones. NO EXCUSES!

I agree with you Keyla because sometimes that can be related to a real life situation.

ReplyDeleteI agree with Keyla Fernandez on this quote by Douglas Pagels because in the book ''Miss Daisy Is Crazy" their are 5 friends that try to find out mysteries about there teachers.
I am almost at the end of my book.Cant wait to finish it but its a great book.Their are many mysteries and its like a comedy at the same time.So if you like mysteries and comedy books this is a great book for you.In one part there was a boy named A.j he was not a strong reader but his principal said that if the 2nd grade read 1,000 books he would paint his hair pink and sleep on the school roof.A.j read a lot of books.So that proves when you want something work hard.
ReplyDeleteQuestion/Quote: what life lessons does the main character learn as a result of the events he/she experienced?
ReplyDeleteIn the book called Dear Bully by 70 Authors Tell Their Stories and that is edited by Megan Kelley Hall and Carrie Jones, talks about a girl or woman name Tonya who suffer from bully just like me. However, Tonya tries to deal with him in any number of ways, but nothing work and nobody helped her. However, in a quote that says “I learned to rely on myself, to believe in myself, to do for myself, and to fight for myself” that was when she decided to stand up for herself and that she would not let herself bring down just by her bully.
