Miles 6.7.11 My first bit of advice for fourth graders is to always keep your desk and crate neat. Next I will tell you to always pay attention in class so you don't miss an instruction. Lastly you should always make shore you have what you need before you go to school so you don't forget anything.
 * Miles's reading comments for the 2010-11 school year!**

Miles 5.22.11 I am going to tell tou what I think of google docs. I like it because you can do word docs and presentations and you can't on Microsoft word.

Steve 5-18-11 Among the Enemy sounds like a great book to read but can you explain more about the book.

Miles 5.16.11 I am reading AMONG THE ENEMY it is about a boy named Matthas and he and his friends are trying to destroy the population police. He is also an illegal third child and his friends went missing (dead). the chief likes him because he saved a gards life.

Miles 5.16.11 Tyler his real name is Luke and his fake name is Lee.

Tyler 5.15.11 That sounds like a great book! What do you mean by his name is Luke/Lee Lee? But, great job!


 * Jacob 5/14/11 Miles that sounds like a very good book I might want to read it.**

5.9.11 miles I am reading Among the Brave a book in the shadow children series. It is about a boy named Trey he is an illegal third child I don't know his real name because he has a fake I.D. He is trying to help his friend who is also an illegal third child who's name is Luke/Lee lee is fake Luke is real. Trey is hiding out in an air duct trying to help his friend who has been captured.

5.2.11 miles I learned that the battle of Gettysburg went on for 3 days and was one of he most critical battles in the Civil War. Also over 50,000 people died. I also learnd that the union army won the battle, and that both commanders tried a dangerous mission one failed and one succeded on there mission. Lastly I learned that the war started when confedrate soldiers saw the food and supplies that the union had at Gettysberg and atacked the fort.

Mr. Shaw 5.1.11 Hmmm....this page is looking a little empty, Miles. Looks like you have some catching up to do!

4.5.11 This week I am doing Joans from THE GIVER. I like Jonas because he is brave, smart, and has perseverance. He was chosen as the reciver of memories wich is the highest honor and you have to be brave and smart. He also is brave because he ran away from home when your not so posed to he kept going on farther and farther away from home no matter what he encounters. That is why Jonas is smart, brave, and has perseverance.

3.20.11 This week i am choosing to write about my new book i started, it's called THE GIVER. THE GIVER is about a boy named Jonas, in Jonas's community at the age of 12 you are given a job to do for the rest of your life. Jonas has gotten the job as the receiver of memories. The job is given to you by the way you act when you are 11.

3.13.11 I am doing Carder and Sadie Kane from the red pyramid. Carder and Sadie are both hosts for gods. They are also siblings. One more similarity is that the are both Egyptian magicians. A difference is that Sadie is British and Carter is not. Sadie is British because they were separated because together they are too powerful. My last difference is that Sadie is the host of a godess of magic and Carter is a host for a god of falcons and the rightfull king of the gods.

3.8.11 I will be doing Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase from the Percy Jackson series. Percy and Annabeth are both Greek demigods that go to camp Half-Blood, another similarity is that Percy and Annabeth are both brave and adventurous an example is that Percy and Annabeth went on a quest through the labrynth even though very few people made it out. Percy and Annabeth are different because Percy is a son of Posiden and Annabeth is a daughter of Athena, another difference is that Percy is more powerful than Annabeth because Percy is a kid of the big three. The big three aren't sopoed to have kids because they are to powerful. those are my reasons why they are simalar and different

I love Rick Rordian because he has a good lititure style, he has interesting books, and he stays with a series until he is done.

This is a good start, Miles, but you need more information in your response. Go back and read the assignment again and add some "meat" to these "bones!" :-)
 * Mr. Shaw 2.16.11**

Miles 2.14.11 I think they compare because they both have a girl trying to save someone or something they are different because one is in the USA and one is in Denmark. They are both a good story I recommend them to people who haven't read them.

Miles 1.23.11 I am doing THE LOST HERO. In the beginning a kid named Jason wakes up on a bus full of kids he doesn't know or never even seen. Next he goes to the Grand Cannyon and has a fight with a storm spirit. Then he gets electrocuted but, he survived because he is the son of the sky god, Jupiter (Greek name Zeus). After theat experience he gets flown to camp Half-Blood and his so called friends get claimed by the gods Piper his "girlfriend" is daughter of Aphriditie (Roman name Venis), his "best friend" Leo is the son of Hephaestus (Roman name Valcan). Jason didn't get claimed because he was already claimed. Next they go on a quest to retrieve Jason's memory and rescue Piper's dad. Lastly they save Piper's dad and get Jasons memory back happy ending right? No they still need to find Percy Jackson (mentioned in some of my earlier entries) who went missing. Spolier alert he is probaly at a camp for Romans ware Jason came from. Percy probably dose't even know who he is.

Miles 1.17.11 I think my wiki entries have gotten longer, I like reading it is fun. My favorite book is THE LAST OLYMPIAN because it has something like a lock on it once you start it you can't put it down.

Miles 1/9/11 I am reading THE RED PYRAMID. The main characters are Cartar and Sadie. They just found out they are Egyptian magicians but weirdest of all they are hosts for gods. There dad Is trapped in golden sarcophagus and they need to rescue him and defeat the evil god Set. I don't know if they do defeat Set but I will find out when I finish th book

The answer is number 2. Good job Liam! Sorry Maddie and Will but Athena d.oes dislike Percy.

(Possibile Spoiler) Is number two a lie?
 * Liam 12/11/10**

Maddie G. 12/7/10 Is number 3 the lie?

Will 12.7.10 Is number 3 a lie?

Miles 12.6.10 I am doing the LIGHTNING THIEF by Rick Riordan. 1. Percy is the son of Poseidon. 2. Percy is the lightning thief. 3.Athena dislikes Percy. Those are my truths and lie.

**Joni 12.3.10** For my entries about traits and motives I did Piper and Leo from the same book! I finished reading **//__The Lost Hero__//** a couple of weeks ago and I thought that it was really good.

Miles 11.28.10 I am reading THE LOST HERO by Rick Riordan. There are three main characters in the story Jason, Leo, And Piper I will be doing Jason. Jason's traits are kind because he is friendly with Piper and Leo even though he doesn't know them because he got his memory stolen. He is confused too because he got his memory stolen from the queen of the gods Hera, he is also very suspicious because he found out he was a Demigod (a person who is half human and half Greek God). Jason's motive is to rescue Hera from a prison and get his memory back.

Giuliana 11.22.10 Great job describing Percy's traits.

miles 11.14.10 I am reading "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" book 4 "Battle of the Labyrinth". The main character in this story is Percy Jackson and I will his traits and motives. He is very heroic because he risks his life to save other people. That tells you he cares about other people. Also, he is very kind because he doesn't want to kill anybody if he doesn't have to. In this book, his main motive is to help his friend, Grover find the god Pan. Another motive is to save Camp Halfblood for the Titan Lord Kronus. To do both of those things, they need to find a way to navigate through the labyrinth.

I would agree with you that Annemarie was brave. Please give an example of how she was brave. Also, you need to make a connection between the book and the visit to the Holocaust Museum.
 * Mr. Shaw 11.11.10**

Miles 11.8 I admire Annamarie because she is brave and enthusiastic. She is also very inspiring because she will do what ever it takes to save Ellen and the rest of the Rosens. justin 11.7.10 I liked how you explained the book I might want to read it once. Tyler 11-7-10 That sounds like a really good book! That could be the next book I read!

Miles 10.31.10 I am not in to scary stories so I will recommend a book. My favorite book is "THE LIGHTNING THIEF". I like it because it is nerve racking, descriptive, and a rush of adrenalin. It is a great book and you should really read it if you haven't all ready.

I am doing Annemarie from **NUMBER THE STARS.** Annemarie is a tall blond-haired girl. She is cautious and caring she is also confident. Her problems are the soldiers, she can't go to school, and her best friend has a big possibility of dying. I like Annemarie because she is kind, caring and a lot more. Miles, what do you mean by "looks messy?" How else might you describe Luke? How old is he? How did he lose his sight?
 * Miles 10.17.10 **
 * Mr. Shaw 10.12.10**

I might want to read Beanball.
 * Giuliana 10.12.10**

Miles 10.11.10 Luke the main character in BEANBALL looks messy because he just got out of the hospital. (Green) Luke is still a good athlete even though he has no vision in his left eye. (Blue) Luke's problems are that he has no vision in his left eye and there is no way of him getting it back. (Brown) I like Luke because he is confident and he wants to try to play sports even though he has no sight in one eye.

Lexi 10/4/10 It sounds like a scary book. Is he going to be able to play baseball again?

Miles 10.4.10 I have started reading a new book called __Beanball__ it is about a kid (Luke "wizzard" Wallice) that is up at bat against his rival school. Then something terrible happens. Luke gets hit in the face blood everywhere. He might have shattered a bone or something really bad. I really like the book so far.

Miles 9/26/10 I am reading ELEVEN BIRTHDAYS and it is good. Amanda and Leo are starting to be friends again because they found out that they are both reliving there birth day ( they have the same birthday). After both of them have a party Leo will sneak over to Amanda's house and they will talk about what is happining.

William, Maddie 9/21/10 Miles why is Amanda keep having her birthday party over and over again?

Danielle And Chloe 9/21/10 Chloe and I both have not read this book but the sounds very good!:)

Tell more, Miles! Does anything change each time she relives her birthday? Also, what is your opinion of this book?
 * Mr. Shaw 9.21.10**

Miles 9-19-10 I am still reading **__Eleven Birthdays__** and it is alright. The main conflict is that Amanda had her birthday party and doesn't like it, and she keeps on reliving the same day over and over again. She knows everything that will happen and when it will happen. It is driving Amanda crazy.

Miles 9/13/10 So far in my book __**Eleven Birthdays**__ Amanda (the main character) is having her birthday and is turning eleven. The book so far is OK.

The way my book relates to **Rope Burn** is that Amanda and her friends want to be on the gymnastics team but, Amanda cant do some tricks and her friends can. But Amanda keeps on practicing and she can do the trick, but I wont tell you if she makes the team or not. Read the book to find out.

Thanks, Miles, for telling us about **Eleven Birthdays** and your reading habits. Next time, see if you can increase the amount of writing you do on this page. You have earned 2 house points for your efforts!
 * Mr. Shaw 9.6.10**


 * 8/31/10 Miles right now I am starting a book called 11 birthdays it is a book for battle of the books. I think the book will be good. My reading habits are good I read whenever I have the time which is almost every night**
