Good Morning!
We are nearing the end of our first Book Club. It's time to start pulling all the pieces together! Tell me about an important lesson or theme that you learned from your story. Remember - you need to be able to support any statements that you make, so use specific examples from the book (2-3 should be sufficient).
As always, if you have any questions please come see me!

Book Clubs
Good Morning Bloggers!
You are reaching the mid-way point in your novels (hope you're keeping up with the reading!) and you already have a few sticky notes detailing characters, plot, predictions.....but who is your favorite character? Who stands out? Which character in the story would you like to know, personally, and why? Describe the character (physical and emotional descriptions). Give 2 specific reasons why you would like to know them and support your reasoning with SPECIFIC EXAMPLES from the text. Feel free to build upon each others comments!
Any questions, come see me!

Please do not forget - Blog Posts 1 & 2 are due TOMORROW!! If you have chosen to not set up a blog you are still required to complete the assignment on paper.
Hope you all enjoyed your day off on Friday. I can't wait to see you all tomorrow!

Your favorite character.....
Good Morning Room 13 Bloggers!!
When you are reading a truly great book, what stands out to you? Character, theme, setting, conflict? What draws you in to a really good book? When I think about some of the books that I have loved, it's the characters that stand out the most to me. Ann Shirley from Anne of Green Gables, Scout from To Kill A Mockingbird, Elizabeth Bennett from Pride and Prejudice, Jo March from Little Women, Holden Caulfield from Catcher in the Rye ......I have so many favorite characters I don't think I could name them all. But what is it about these characters that speak to us?
Think about who YOUR favorite character in literature is. Explain HOW and WHY the character changed from the beginning of the story to the end of the story. Be sure to use at least 2 specific examples from the story to explain your answer. Why do you think you related to this character in such a strong way? Be specific.
I hope you are all enjoying your blogging experience! Don't forget to add our class site http://room13lovestoread.blogspot.com to your gadgets so you can keep up and follow our class assignments!
Have a great day,
