Realistic Fiction Summer Reading 2015

Welcome to our new fourth graders! This year for our summer reading, instead of doing a written report, you have the option of participating in a discussion online. I hope this will let us all see and respond to each other's thoughts about the book.

As a reminder, you need to begin each comment with the book you read, and should write your first name only under "Comment As." You should then write down the number of the questions you are answering, followed by your answer. Later on, you should check back and respond to another student's comment.

For your realistic fiction book by Beverly Cleary or Judy Blume, you need to answer two of the following questions:

1. Who is the main character and how would you describe them? Are they like you at all? Why or why not?

2. What do you think are the three most important things that happen in this book? Why are these the most important?

3. Do you think that this book could really happen in your school, family, or neighborhood? Why or why not?

4. If you could change something about the book, what would you change? (Do not write down "nothing" as your answer!)

    1. I'm glad you're getting the conversation started, Kayla! Which Judy Blume book did you read? Don't forget to answer one of the questions listed above, too. Next time, you only need to include your fist name.

    1. I think you meant Judy Blume is the author, right? She's one of my favorites! I especially love her books about Ramona. Who was the main character of the book you read? What are they like, and are they like you at all?

  7. This Jovonne Gonzalez and I read Freckle Juice by Judy Blume.

    1. The main characters name is Andrew. I would describe Andrew as being weird. He wanted freckles like his classmate Nicky. His other classmate, Sharon, told him that she had the recipe for freckle juice. He believed her and made the "freckle Juice" and got sick and no freckles.I am not like Andrew because I would not believe a silly story like the one Sharon told him. I also am happy with how I look with my own freckles and wouldn't want to change who I was.

    4.If I were to change the book I would make the freckle juice actually work and then Sharon becomes famous and then Andrew makes a freckle remover and he then becomes famous and takes Sharon out of business.

    Q.#1There are two main characters but I choose the Pain to describe.He is in first grade. He is the Great One's brother. He plays soccer, he only eats white food, he likes cats and he does not like haircuts. He is not like me because Ilike all kinds of food, I play baseball I don't mind haircuts. He is like me because we both like cats.

  12. Andrew is the main character and he dosn't like the way he looks. He wants freckles like nicky so he puts freckle juice that sharon gave him on his face and actually sharon tricked him, so he put magic marker on his face. Andrew is very confident in his self because he proved its ok to be different, he didnt need freckles, he just wanted them. I dont think i am like him because i wouldn't put marker on my face or drink weird stuff.

  13. This is David B writing this in my sister's laptop. I think I would have changed the part were he drinks the weird stuff. That is nasty and i would not do that. I dont know why anyone would do that thing.
