Welcome!

Making connections between the books you read and your own life is an essential component of reading comprehension. In this blog, students in Ms. Stewart's reading development class will deepen their connections to their books by putting themselves in their characters' shoes.

Below you will read journal entries written by students as if they are the characters they are reading about. Journal entries describe the events taking place in the novel, as well as the students inferences about the ways their character feels about those events.

Please enjoy reading the students' thinking about their books, and feel free to share some of your own or respond to posts that interest you!

Drinking

Dear Diary,



This is when I drunk beer with my best friend Aaron. Aaron asked me if I wanted to drink some beer and I said yes. We were in the pool drinking beer. Aaron started to act really crazy after he drunk the bootle of beer. Then he fell asleep. I wet a rag and put it on Aaron's face. He woke up and I dragged him to the living room couch. He fell straight asleep once I put him on the couch. I also fell asleep on the other couch. Then the next morning I went home and had a great day.
