Week 1 March 18, 2011

Give the title, author, publisher, copyright date, genre (how do you know the genre - from the back of the book, the title page, the text?), a description of the cover of the book, and the main character(s) you have met so far and on what page you first met them.
 The book I am reading is called Little house on the prarie and the author
is Laura Ingalls wilder.The publishers are are Harper and Row.
The copy right date is 1963.
The genre is historical fiction I know this because the author is talking about 
the past or the history.
The main charecters are Ma,Pa,and Baie Carrie I met these charecters 
on page 4. 

The author talks about the parents and how they used to live in this little house when
they were children. I like how the author describes the house in the book and the author 
tells how  the parents used to have a pathway by the little house.
Now the house is not there anymore and that is where I am at in the story so far.

  1. Rachael,

    Nice job setting up your response like we asked. You answered 3/4 of the questions fairly well and stayed on topic.

    Next steps:
    Presentation: Remember to underline or italicize the title of a book.
    Capitalization: You need to capitalize the first letter of every word in the title except 'on' and 'the'.
    Details: You forgot to describe the book cover.
    When you say that the author is talking about "the past or the history", what do you mean? Can you give an example? Or did someone tell you that?
    Have you met Laura yet?

    Grade: 5

    To get advanced: 1. You also need to put the first 3 sentences into one efficient sentence (see my example on my blog).
    2. Tell us why you choose this book and what you think of it so far.
    3. When you describe the cover tell us if this helps you know the genre and if it interested you or not, and why.
    4. Give an example of how the author describes the house, since you liked that. Do you know where they are at this point?
