Let's try this again

So last year we tried to start this blog about what we are reading and it did not work out as we had planned, so we are going to try again this year. The plan is to post to the blog at least twice a month about what we are reading in class as well as independently.

The first unit we are working with this year is short stories. Right now we are working with the theme Strange Going's On reading stories with elements of horror, suspense or irony. We will also be reading other short stories from various themes throughout the unit, as well as writing short stories of our own. Throughout the month of October we will be posting about the short stories we are reading as well as our independent books that we are beginning to read for our first project this year.

We hope that this year we are better about posting to our blog and that you enjoy reading about what we are reading. :)

Diary of a Wimpy Kid 5: Final Review

It was a really good book. I really enjoyed it. I would recommend to people who read the last 4 books.

8.5/10

The Summoning

The book I am reading right now is called the Summoning. This book is about a girl named Chloe Saunders. When she saw her first ghost everyone thought that she was crazy. So she was put in Lyle house. Which is a house for troubled teenagers. The book is pretty good so far.

I finished reading, "Diario de Greg, Esto es el Colmo!" It was the Spanish version of Diary Of A Wimpy Kid. Overall it was a very good story. Short, but sweet. I do recommend this book to fans.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid 5

I am reading Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Ugly Truth. So far it's been really good. It focuses on a whole bunch of problems. But there was only one problem that was mainly focused on.

SPOILER ALERT IF YOU HAVE NOT READ DOG DAYS!!

It was focused on the relationship of Greg and Rowley and apparently they are not friends anymore and if Greg is going to grow up and be an adult, or mature and not make the Diaries ever again. So I have not read the whole book yet. I will post another blog when I am done reading the book

Greek Mythology

Howdy, I'm here to talk about Greek Mythology. It's been really interesting to read about God's. It's like how the world was created and it's really interesting. My favorite Greek Myth is Pandora's Box. If you haven't read it yet it's cool. It just explains how evil got into the world. 5 STARS!!!!

Mythology

We have been talking about recently is Greek and Roman mythology. I think these topics are very interesting. What i like the most is that it explained how things came to this world. such as fire, and Seasons like summer and winter. These are very interesting topics but no one can really say if it happened or if it's true. Overall, I do like these myths and legends topic.

The Awakening

The book I recently read was called The Awekening. It is one of the best books I have everr read. The book was about a girl that could raise the dead. Her and 3 friends were being chased by a group of people. I would tell you more but you have to read the story to fin out what happens. Well that was the book I read.

The Cay

The book we read in class was The Cay. The book was about this 11 year old boy named Philip. Philip lived with his parents in Willemstad,Curaco. He had a friend and his name was Henrik. Henrik and Philip where very childish. People would keep talking about WWII. Philips mom wanted to come the United States. Philip's dad wanted to stay in his home town. Philip's mom decided to go to the U.S. Philip and his mom where on this big ship. On the way there Philip met a guy named Timothy. Timothy and Philip got stuck in the cay later on in the story. Those are some things about The Cay

el cayo

Our class just got done reading El Cayo. I didn't like it because the end was rushed. it would have been better if Phillip wasn't blind.
