Things to Remember

Hi boys and girls,

PLEASE REMEMBER NOT TO PUT ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION LIKE PHONE NUMBERS OR LAST NAMES ON YOUR BLOG POSTS. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE IS SAFE AND PROTECTED WHILE USING THE BLOG.

You all have so much to be proud of, thanks for all your contributions to the blog. I hope that you are finding new and exciting books to read this summer. Remember to share your thoughts about the books that you are reading. When getting ready to write your posts ask yourself:

If I were the main character what would I do in that situation? How would I handle the problem?
What is the author's purpose? Do I agree or disagree with the authors message? Why?
If I were writing the book how might I change the setting or ending? Why? How would it change the story?

For example, in the book How Baseball Saved Us really enjoyed the author's message about community and how finding a common goal or interest, such as baseball, can help people build trust and overcome difficult situations.

Keep reading!
