Reading Class
By. Sydney Lamb
Read: To have the ability to look at and comprehend the meaning of written or printed matter. We all need to know how to do this for the future. That is why this class is so important.
Read Aloud
"Read Aloud" is a group activity we do while reading. Through the week, we do summarizing, predicting, asking questions, and evaluating. We are doing a Read Aloud to the book "The Killer's Cousin." This book is about a boy who is acquitted of his girlfriend's murder. He has to go live with his relatives. The parents don't speak, and the little girl, Lily, is trying to ruin David's life. There are multiple themes that we discussed as we read "The Killer's Cousin," which helped our overall understanding of the book.
Annotation
An annotation is a comment, explanation, or markup attached to text, image, or other data. It helps you dig deeper into the text and understand the text more clearly.
Book Challenge
Book Challenge is a grade we take every 9 weeks for 90 points. You have to read a certain amount of books, genres, and reading levels.
Common Core Reading
This year's passages have become more complex. Mrs. Knodle has given us passages that has challenged us because she wants us to be prepared for the "PARCC" test this year.
One of my favorite books...
The Hunger Games Trilogy is my all-time favorite series. It shows bravery, courage, and maturity. Katniss sacrifices herself for her sister, and she fights for what she believes in. This series teaches useful life lessons for all readers.
