You've just chosen your new Literature Circle books.
How did you choose your book? What metacognitive thinking went on - the thinking around how you thought about choosing the book. What thinking did you need to do?
I've chosen the book: Only You Can Save Mankind because I thought I would try reading a new author and the blurb at the back of the book really appealed to me.
I am reading Bridge to Terabithia I chose this book because the illustrations and I enjoyed the movie but I heard the book was 10 times better? Deighkotah
I'm reading the Hatchet:Winter by Gary Paulsen I chose it because my... OUR old teacher Mrs Meldau read us the Hatchet last year... or was that my other teacher... Jade :3
Awesome Emma - what is it about the words that gets your attention? Remember to be specific. Is it because they are descriptive and paint a vivid picture in your mind?
Hi guys. Remember to be specific and give examples. What makes this book so interesting so far? How has the author done this for you as a reader? Why are you enjoying the second chapter - tell me why. I'd love to read more.
I'm a little unclear about what you mean Taiana. Make sure you read through before publishing to make sure that you've been clear in your thinking. :-)
I have chosen holes by Louis Eschar I chose the book of how interesting the blurb was and how the book started off in the first couple of chapters I think This book is going to be very fun By Capri Taylor
What did the author do in the first couple of chapters that made you want to carry on reading Capri? How could you use this knowledge in your own writing to grab the reader's attention?)
(Remember basic surface features - expecially when you have the book to refer to for correct spelling, etc).
My book Bridge to Terabithia is based on the movie but what I've heard is the book is 10 times better? so as soon as I read I was almost reading it non stop that's how interested I was so I am up to chapter 3 Exciting!!! yay
Off to look for it and add it now! This is what I love - when all of you start t take control of the blog and tell me what needs to be on it. Brilliant!!
