I LOVE TO READ MONTH 2014
Celebrate Reading!
Brandon Terrell is Visiting Westwood Elementary!
He is the author of two graphic novels titled Riptide Pride and Quarterback Scramble. He is also the author of two choose your own adventure books titled Greek Mythology's Twelve Labors of Hercules and Howard Pyle's Merry Adventure of Robin Hood! During his visit to our school he will teach our students about the craft of writing!
To prepare for his visit, the students will be learning about graphic novels and choose your own adventure stories.
Watch Our Daily Videos in February!
Each video will feature a student telling a joke, a teacher recommending a book, and a second student reading a book passage!
More fun reading activities to help us celebrate I Love to Read month.
Secret Books
There are 30 popular books in our library which will make a "funny" sound when you check them out! These are the "Secret Books" and you will win a free book if you check one out!
Create a Comic Strip
Our author, Brandon Terrell, writes graphic novels. These are books which are written with speech balloons- very similar to comic strips. We will practice creating our own comic strips.
Choose Your Own Adventure
Our author also wrote a Choose Your Own Adventure book. We will use a web application called Inklewriter to experiment with our own Choose Your Own Adventure stories.
