Welcome to Our Reading Project!
Today we kick off our Reading Project!
To get started on the right foot, I want everyone to respond to the following question:
What did you choose as your first book to read and what made you pick it?
I will be looking to see that you actually put some content in your answer. Was it the plot? The cover? (we all know you’re not supposed to judge by those but they DO matter sometimes!) The characters sounded relatable/interesting? You’ve got to give us something to work with here. Not only for the fact that your grade will suffer if you can’t back up your own opinion, but because of the SECOND part of your assignment. That would be…
After telling us what book you chose and why, you need to make a comment about SOMEONE ELSE’S comment.
In other words, you’re going to respond to them just like you were talking to them in real life.
Alrighty then! Have at it, kids!
I’m anxiously awaiting what YOU have to say!

Way to go, Cameryn! I really like books with characters who are similar to me in some way. I feel like it’s easier to make a connection with what I read that way.

I chose “How to Steal a Dog” because I love dogs, and the description of the story lets me know that i really want to read this. the plot is interesting, the story of a penniless family after their father leaves them living in a truck. The two childeren go on a task they made for they’re selves to steal dogs, and then return them for the reward the owner gives.

I choose the book Nurk by Ursula Vernon. I choose this book because of the characters. The main character is a rat and I think rats are intersting. The book cover helped me know it was a good book.

We’ve read at least two other books this year that involve rodent characters. How do you think the rat in this book will compare to the rats in “The Tale of Despereaux”?
