**Joni 6.6.11** Is the lie number five?


 * Joey 5/19/11**
 * Hey Jordana is the lie number 5?**

**What book am I talking about? Answer will appear Friday afternoon.**
Lexi 4.6.11 I have read dork diaries it was really good and you described the characters really good.You are right Makenzie is is very popular, and I also think that she was mean??

Jordana 3/20/11
== The book I am reading is called Dork Diaries. I choose Nikki and Makenzie as the two characters in my book I am currently reading. They are alike and different in many ways. One way that they are alike is that they both want to be apart of the clean up committee for their school Halloween Party. They are different because Makenzie is popular and everyone in the school bows down to her and Nikki thinks that she is a total dork. Those are some reasons on why NIkki and Makenzie are alike and different. ==

**Jordana 3/13/11**
== **My favorite genre would have to be mystery. I like mystery because I love always getting into my book. When I get into a book it makes me want to read more. Another reason why my favorite genre is mystery is because you always want to know what happens next and it makes you think of what is going to happen. What's your favorite genre?** ==


 * Mrs. Hansen **
 * What a wonderful entry, Jordana! I can tell that you are really striving to write a well thought out and quality entry. Bravo! +5 house points **
 * Tessa **
 * Good entry Jord, but are they two friends? **

** Jordana 2/25/11 **
==** The book I am reading is called Dork Diaries. The two characters that I chose are Nikki and Makenzie. They are alike and different in many ways. One reason why they are alike is because they both like showing off their new clothes or new shoes around the school. Another reason why they are alike is because they both like to make the other person feel bad. Here are some reasons on how NIkki and Makenzie are different. One thing is that Makenzie is popular and Nikki on a scale from 1 to 10 is a -100 according to Makenzie. My last reason on how they both are different is because they both hang out with different friends. As you can see Nikki and Makenzie are alike and different in many ways. **==

Jordana 2/17/11
== The book from the Holocaust and the book from the novel group I am reading right now are alike and different in many ways. They are alike by, they both have violence and they both are fighting for a right. They are different by because they are both fighting for something different, and they both take place at a different time and a different place. ==

Jordana 2/12/11
== The two main ideas the author tries to express is the action and the feelings of the characters. When the author tries to express the action the author uses fighting words, people screaming, people running and more. The main point of doing that is to express the feelings of the characters which goes along with my second idea. The author tries to do this to show how emotional and painful the war can be. What are your two main reasons? ==

Jordana 1/4/11
== The Main character in my novel study book is Tim. Tim has taken on many actions some of those actions are that he had to go and help his father when his father was taken away by some not very nice people Tim was starring into space and he didn't notice his father was gone he finally saw that he was not there with him so he went out and looked for him but in the end he never found him and he died. This made Tim very sad. This reminds me of when i came home from school looking for my dog when i suddenly realized he was not in the house. Later i had found out that he had died and i was very sad. Tim and I share many traits some of those traits are that we both are in the middle of two peoples different opinions one opinion is that one wants something and the other wants another so those two people ask you to decide which one is right and which one is wrong. Would you want to read the book My Brother Sam is Dead! ==

5. Mallory loves to read
Jordana 1/20/11 Sorry but all of those answers are incorrect. Sydney 1/20/11 is it that she goes to overnight camp. Katie 1 - 9 - 11 I agree with Sydney and Tessa is it that she loves cats Maddie 1-19-11 Is it that she tells her teacher what to were?????? Sydney 1/18/11 Is it that she loves cats. Gillian 1/18/11- Is the lie that she told her teacher what to wear? Tessa 1/18/10 Hmm Jordana thats good but i think ur lie is that she loves cats. Am I right ??

Jordana 1/18/11
== The book I am reading is called Mallory, Step Fourth. The main characters name is Mallory. Mallory is a very bad student. She told her teacher what to wear. She loves cats. Go's to overnight camp. Has a good friend named Mary Ann. Which four are true and which one is a lie? Try to find out! ==

Lexi 1/16/11 I so agree with you. Nobody would really get to do anything. Great explaining. Tessa 1/13/10 WOW!!!! Jordana you did a great explaining why reading is important to you. I loved they way you life would not be normal with out reading. Molly 1.12.11 Good job Jordana! I agree about what you said.

Jordana 1/10/11
== Reading is very important to me because if people were not able to read life just wouldn't be normal. No one would know how to speak because they wouldn't have to learn how to read or say the letters in the alphabet. You would also would not be able do many sports or hobbies because many sports require reading like for example cooking you need to read recipes, and if you went to the store to buy something you would need to read labels or prices. If you couldn't read you basically can't do anything because many things require reading. Writing about this makes me remember that when I was younger and I was learning how to read I thought that reading wasn't important and so my mom and I had a talk and she explained to me why reading was important and so the next day I came to school with a whole list of why reading is important. As you can see I learned my lesson and I also learned many things on why reading is important. Don you think reading is important? Wow, Jordana! You shared some very interesting thoughts about reading. Nice job. +4 ==

Lexi 1/9/11 Great job explaining your character. I like it when you put down juicy words and when you said here are some of here bad and good qualities.

**Jordana 1/6/11**
== The book I am reading is called Mallory Step, Fourth. My favorite character in the book would have to be Mallory (she is the main character). She has many good qualities although she has few bad qualities, the good qualities are that she is very nice and tries to make everything better for example in the book it says that, She was trying to get back on her teachers good side so she went ahead and tried many times although she failed many times she still kept on trying and in the end she finally succeeded. Mallory also has some bad qualities and those are that she likes to talk a lot, so she mostly gets in trouble at school because she has a very strict teacher with a whole bunch of rules and so far in school she has broken every single rule. Another bad quality is that Mallory is super sloppy, she has clothes all over her floor and her closet is all messed up with clothes thrown into it I can make a connection to the story Clementine because clementine is super messy and so is Mallory. All of her qualities connect to her actions. One action was that she had, was to figure out how to get on her teachers good side, the reason why she did that is because no one else has broken a rule before in her class except Mallory so to get back on her teachers good side she came up with sending her teacher an email about how he should dress and how he shouldn't dress. All her family and friends thought it was a bad idea but she couldn't take back something she had already wrote, and sent. As you can see Mallory is in a lot of trouble what will she do to make everything better? read the book to find out what she does to be on her teachers good side!!!! ==

Jordana 12/14/10
== Two books I would recommend are, Diary of a Wimpy kid the ugly Truth, and Dear Dumb Diary the whole series. I think both of those books should be read because they are both funny and serious. In both of the books they get into trouble a lot like in dear dumb diary the main character gets in trouble for not telling the truth, but she really is telling the truth. In the book Diary of a Wimpy kid the main character gets in trouble by his brothers. As you can see they both get in trouble. I hope you read this book. ==

Jordana 11/3/10
== In the book I am reading the main characters name is Greg (I am reading diary of a Wimpy kid). Greg is a nice person but sometimes he can be mean, like one time Greg and his friend got into a fight and they didn't talk to each other for a whole year. Greg has many good qualities but some are good qualities and some are bad qualities, like he is nice, and kind but sometimes he doesn't follow the 6 pillars. When Greg gets mad he always thinks of something he could do to make him feel better, but most of the time the things he wants to do are either being mean or rude to s someone who was not nice. His thoughts and actions mean that he thinks before he does. You should read The Ugly Truth it is very good!! ==

**Yes It is good job**
Jack 11/16/10! Is it Diary of a wimpy kid by Jeff Kinny?

4. some of the books you can buy you can make your own book
What book I am thinking? =**Congratulations Tessa You got it right!!!!**= Tessa 11/9/10 No Talking by Andrew Clements

11/9/10 Jordana
== Try to guess which book I am telling you about. Boys against girls. The teachers are curious why everyone is being so quiet. Boys have cooties and girls have cooties. The main characters names start with an L and D. Which book do you think I am talking about? Highlight the things that are covered up! ==

Jordana 11/4/10
== ﻿The book helped me understand that time period better because, I just thought the Holocaust was just a time when the Germans only took the Jews, but when I read the book I learned a lot more and after I read the book I wanted to learn even more. The book helped me understand the Holocaust because I really have never learned about it, but not only learning about it but just reading about it made me interested. I would recommend this book to Lexi in Mr.Shaws class because she would love to read about the Holocaust and she would also like to ask her ancestors if they were apart of the Holocaust. ==

Jordana 10/28/10
== The book I am reading is called 11 Birthdays. The main character is Amanda and the character that opposes to her is her older sister. She affects Amanda in the story by being rude or mean and one time Amanda looked in her diary and she was so mean to her she wouldn't talk to her for the rest of her life well at least a part of her life. Amanda just ignores her when she is being mean and she just walks away and goes to her room. Amanda is very creative, sneaky, compassionate, and friendly. One time her friend made a gymnastics team and Amanda didn't make it and she was happy that her friend made the team. I hope you look forward to reading 11 Birthdays. If you already read it you should read is again you will love it!!! ==

10,21,10 Jordana
== You should buy the book, Dear Dumb Diary. The book is really funny and if you like to read about funny but serious things you should read that book. The book will paint a picture in your mind and you will connect with the book in the funny parts. I know you will like it so go into the store and get one now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You should read it, it is very good!!!!! ==

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!highlight to see!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tessa 10,21,10 i like how you said you will connect with the book in funny parts great details jord!! == The book I am reading is called Dear Dumb Diary. The author in my book is Jim Benton. He loves to draw crazy characters, He also loves to be creative like sometimes he will make a cupcake talk or an animal that cant speak talk english. He is a very interesting person. He named the main character Jamie because his real name is James Kelly Benton so he decided to make it into a girls name, and finally HE is the artist and the author of the book. ==

Jordana
== The book I am reading is called Diary of a Wimpy Kid #3. The Book is about A boy named Greg. He is a nice person but sometimes he can be sneaky. He has a unique personality, he is a good artist and loves to crash parties he also enjoys writing comics. He does not like it when someone copies him. In the story Greg and his friend Rowely like to invent things, they also like to play video games. When Greg gets in trouble and he has to go to his room he sneaks out of the window and goes to Rowely's house to play a video games, as you can see he is very sneaky. Greg has a younger brother named Manny he loves to ruin Manny's fun like if Manny is building something he will come over and kick it but he has a consequence whatever his dad is holding he will get hit with so he normally ruins something when his dad is holding like a news paper or a feather. Greg has an older brother named Rodrick who lives in the basement so if Greg goes down there Rodrick will heart him. One time Greg went down to see something and his brother was coming down so he hide in his desk and was in there all night because Rodrick was talking on the phone all day long, but he finally got out. I hope you enjoyed the summary I gave you about this book I hope you look forward to reading it. ==

Jordana
== The Book I am reading is called Diary of a Wimpy #3. The setting in the story is Greg's school and his house. They are mostly at School but sometimes they are at Greg's house. At school they do all sorts of funny things happen like in class Greg falls asleep and the teacher moved his chair up to the front of the classroom while he was in his chair sleeping so when he woke up his whole class was laughing at him. The school made a big impact on his life because at home people aren't nice to him except for his mom his dad and his good friend Rowely. You will have to read the book to find out if his old school friends become friends with him and how they will become friends again. I am not saying they will and I am not saying they wont you will have to read the book to find OUT!!!!!! ==

Tessa/9/25/10 sounds like a really good book jord!

Lexi 9/26/10

Jordana

The conflict in the story is that Greg has lost one of his good friends and his old best friend made a new friend to make greg jealous So greg made a new friend to make his old friend jealous and in the end they get into a fight who will win? Will they become friends again? Read the book to find out.

Jordana 9/14/10
== The book I am reading is called Regarding of the fountain it is about a school that needs a new water fountain and they ask a girl named Florence Waters to build them a new fountain she is the main character of the story. She is artistic and is thoughtful. She also has a good sense of humor and agrees with everyones ideas for the fountain. Florence Waters reminds me of my sister Lindsey because she is artistic and thoughtful she always has good ideas and she has a good sense of humor and mostly agrees with everyone. Florence is like me because she likes to build things and so do I. ==

Jordana 9/1/10,
== The book I am reading is Mallory on the Move, it is about a girl who had to move to a different state, and she had to leave one of her best friends. when she moved she had to make new friends but when she moved she only had one friend and his name is Joey. A couple weeks later Mallory's good friend came to visit for a week and they did all sorts of things when she came like they painted there toe nails, and they taught Mallory's cat cheeseburger tricks, and they swam in a pond near by Mallory's house. when Mallory's good friend had to go back home Mallory did something but you will have to find out what she did when you read the book. I think people should read this book because it is a book that you don't want to put down. ==
