Check out our powerpoint if you need some help with the genres!

Each time you finish a book, just click on the page that matches the genre of your book. Click "EDIT" (top right) and then record:
 * Your first name and last initial (tracyb)


 * The title of the book


 * The author


 * The number of pages in the book


 * A paragraph about your favorite parts of the book


 * A paragraph about what you didn't like about the book


 * Your rating of the book on a scale of 1-5 stars (5 being the best)

It's easy!! :) For example: Mrs. Smalley, __Sparrow Girl__, by Sara Pennypacker, 23 pp = Look for a red check by the books you have posted. If you see one, it means Mrs. Brannum agrees that you have met all of the requirements for that book. If you don't see one, go back over the list above and see what you are missing. =
 * I most enjoyed the part in this book when the sparrows are set free out of the barn. I can picture what it must be like to have the ability to fly, but not be able to go very high. The sparrows had been used to having the flying as high as they wanted before they were saved. Leaving the barn must have been a joyful experience, after living in such a small place for so long. I would feel very joyful to be set free into the open.
 * I think the saddest part was when the pet pigeon flew home, and died in Mi Lings arms. It's very hard and sorrowful to lose a pet, and i//t made me think about// the pets I have lost. I have lost many pets, but there are a few that I was closer to, and that hurts even more. This part also //reminded me of the movie//, Old Yeller, where the main character looses his beloved dog. That movie made me cry, and I still refuse to watch it again.
 * I give __Sparrow Girl__ 3 out of 5 stars.

Just think: If all 22 students read 30 books each, that's a total of 660 books in one year! That's amazing!
