We like reading!

Novel Study
We had to complete a novel study. This consisted of: Choosing a suitable novel, writing a journal at the end of every chapter (about the chapter). We had to write about connections we could make with the text, write a summery of the chapter, write a prediction of what would happen next and set questions (Think and search, author and me, right there and on my own).
We then presented a chart to use to report to the class about our novels. We wrote character descriptions, about the conflicts in the book, a plot summery and information about the author. 
To complete all of this we needed to spend most of the time reading and trying to stay up-to-date with their journal entries and not lag behind. Fortunately, everyone did complete this and everyone shared their charts to the class. Most people learnt to keep up-to-date and realised that reading is not in fact hard, it’s fun and easy! We also reflected that the mistakes we made this year will be improved on next year.
