The Chocolate War (marco)

I really thought that the ending of the book would be different then how it did. Because i thought that their would be more danger more action more conflict.I didn't like all the book but some parts I liked. My favorite part was when they fought. I would recommend this book to people like wars and people that like fights.

The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton

We finished reading the book the Outsiders. It was a pretty good book. A lot of stuff happened and some were pretty sad. My favorite part was when Dally saved both Pony and Johnny. My least favorite part was when Dally and Johnny died. Dally was my favorite character so that was a bummer. Otherwise it was awesome how Randy a Soc was nice to Pony a  greaser and how they kinda bonded. Darry and Ponys relationship got better wich was good. I dont like Steve.

                                                Reality Check
I think Cody is going to find Clea and their going to get back together and maybe there going back to little bend. After probably Cody is going to go back to school and after he finishes school he's going to get a better job. I think that because Cody is getting more clues and finding out more stuff. Cody went to the bar and the guy there is acting suspicious.

Preddiction For The End Of The Book..Reality Check. -Amanda

Well I still haven't finished the book Reality Check but i'm almost done with it. A lot has happened through out all the chapters. Well here is my prediction for the end of the book, I think Cody will end up finding Clea. He will keep looking for clues to get closer and closer to her. Also i think Big Len has something to do with her missing.

I have finished reading the book The Chocolate Wars. I am reading this book because we have to read it for language arts. My favorite part is when Jerry is getting beating up because there's allot going on. I would recommend this book to elder people because there's no real excitement and its kinda boring. I did think it would end like that because Jerry was bringing this to himself.

The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton

In the Outsiders I think whats gonna happen next is that Johnny is gonna die. Well maybe since he was burnt pretty bad. Hopefully not but most likely that will happen. If he does die I think Dallys gonna be real sad since he cared for Johnny. Darrys and Ponys relationship will hopefully get better and all, I think that it will though. I think that the greasers and socs are gonna get in a big fight and the greasers are gonna win since Cherry helps them.

kids inside so they  save them and jonny got hit by a burning stick  ponny boy was on fire an lost it. in the doctor thinks he is not going to jail. 

  

Reality Check Prediction. Amanda

In the book Reality Check a lot has happened. Right now Cody just went to go look for Clea because shes missing. My prediction for the next couple chapters is that Cody is going to find Clea and then there going to get in a fight. I think that because someone told Cody that she had a boyfriend and he doesn't like that because Clea said she missed Cody.

I'm still reading The Chocolate War. I think that Archie and Obie are going to fight. Also that a lot more kids are not going to sell chocolates. And that Jerry wont sell the chocolates and Goober is going to join the football team again.

Chocolate War Maritza 2

I'm reading the book Chocolate War  by: Robert Comier. I think that the book is OK I'm on chapter 15 out of like 32 or 38 or in the middle some were. The main character, Jerry, mom died so he dose not get along with his dad, there relation is sad. So Jerry feels really but really lonely. I fell bad for Jerry. I'm sure that it is really sad life.

Reality Check. Amanda

In language arts class we have groups and in my group we are reading Reality Check. The 2 main characters, Clea and Cody are going through a lot of problems. First Clea got a bad grade. Well her dad thought it was bad. Then Clea's decided to send her to Hong Kong for the summer. Cody then had to wait to see her after summer was over. They emailed and called each other. Then Clea's dad also decided to send her to Boarding School in Denver when the school year started again. Which meant Cody wouldn't see her. So he decided to break up with her. Then later Cody hurt his knee really bad by playing football and he was doing so good at school. He lost his chance of going to a good college. So after a while he dropped out of school. Started working full time. A lot of things started changing with him. One day he was at a deli getting a sandwich and all of a sudden he saw the newspaper and on the front page there was a picture of Clea and the headline read "Local Girl Missing." Those are some big problems that have happened in the  book Reality Check.

The Chocolate War

 I am still reading The Chocolate War by Robert Cormier. I like the book so far. It is very interesting how the author wrote the book. He uses a lot of metaphors and simile in his this book. Also i like the way the author use lots of detail. It feels like he is not afraid to express how the character feels like. That's the main reason that i like the book.

Lit Circle books

Well, we have started a new unit in 7th and 8th grade Bilingual LA and it is going pretty well so far.  The students are split up in 3 groups reading 3 different books, The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, The Chocolate War by Robert Cormier, and Reality Check by Peter Abrahams.  Most of them seem to like their books so far.  Our new unit focuses on the themes of Rising to the Challenge and Identity.  Most of the characters in our books are struggling with 'tough stuff' and trying to decide/discover who they are.

We are running our lit circles a little differently this time.  Instead of the typical vocabulary, discussion leader, illustrator, summarizer roles, we are trying something new.  I read in a article for my graduate class about Digital Storytelling so I decided to try it out.  The students take on the roles of director, producer, writer and editor and as they read they are creating Storyboards that summarize and help them visualize the most important scenes from their books.  At the end the students will use those roles to actually create a movie, or a digital story, about their book.  They will either create a live action movie in iMovie using the iPads or they will use Photostory to create a picture story with voice over about their book.  Wish us luck!  We will upload our videos when they are finished!
