Blog #8 Due: Monday 11/4/13

We just learned about abstract nouns and how they help you determine the theme in a text.

For this week's blog entry, tell us one of the themes of your independent reading book and then turn it into a theme statement.

If you need help, look at your theme notes in your binder. You can also ask yourself "What did I(or the character) learn?"

Do not forget to comment on 2 classmates posts. Make sure to include the title of your book, the author, and what page you are currently on.

Blog #7 Due: Monday 10/14/13

Remember to post your book's title, author, and page #.
Choose two to three characters from your book and very briefly tell us who they are.
Then tell us what actors/actresses you would want to play the parts of the characters in your book if it were to be turned into a movie (you must choose famous people to play the roles). Include an explanation of why you choose each actor/actress.

If your book has already been turned into a movie please choose new actors/actresses to play the roles of your characters. ex. If you are reading Twilight do not tell me Taylor Lautner should play Jacob.

Blog #6 Due: Monday 10/7/13

Remember to post author/title/page # of the current book you are reading.
Tell us one SPECIFIC thing you really like about your book and why.
Then tell us one SPECIFIC thing you really DON'T like about your book and why.
Remember that your comments should always be at least 5-7 detailed, insightful, sentences and include support from your book.
Do not forget to comment twice!
