Have you read any good books?

I need some help!!! I've been looking for a good  book to read.  Does anyone have some suggestions?
Just leave me a book recommendation.
Remember to include:
-the title and author of the book
-a little summary of the book (but don't give away the ending!)
- tell me why you think I'll like it

Thanks!

Shadows!!!

Did you see your shadow today?  Explain why or why not.



When light passes through a clear glass windowpane, the windowpane does not create  a shadow. Explain why.

Why was Harriet Tubman called the "Moses" of her people?

The War of 1812

We have been learning about the War of 1812.  A lot of Americans had different feelings about the war.  Some supported it others opposed.  We have chosen to express our thoughts and feelings about the War of 1812 through poetry. 

READ ALL ABOUT IT !!!!

This past week we have been  reading a variety of literary text. We have talked about poems, drama, and prose.  We have thoroughly discussed the structural elements of each one.  I would like to hear what the major differences between poems, drama, and prose. How does the way the text is set up help you as a reader?

Social Studies - Let's Compromise!!

This past week we have been discussing important compromises that the delegates at the constitutional convention had to make.  We have discussed:

The Virginia Plan

The New Jersey Plan

The Great Compromise

We have also been reading about these important compromises in our social studies text and other informational passages.  Describe how people make compromises.  Why do you think it was important for the delegates at the constitutional convention to make compromises?  I look forward to reading about your thinking!!!!

 

Love,

Mrs. Duncan
