Holiday reading challenge: Book recomendation
The book I am recommending: White Fang
Who I am recommending it to: Mengchun
Why I am recommending it (3 reasons): I would recommend this book to Mengchun for these reasons:
This is my recommendation for the holiday reading challenge activity called: Make a recommendation. For this activity, as you see above, we have to choose a book, recommend it to someone and then explain why recommended it to that person in the form of three reasons.
Who I am recommending it to: Mengchun
Why I am recommending it (3 reasons): I would recommend this book to Mengchun for these reasons:
- She likes books that are Non-Fiction
- She reads books that have animals in it
- It isn't too long (like Narnia) but it isn't like a year 3 length book either. This means that you cannot sit there for like, 1 second and be finished and yet you cannot sit there and read it for 24 hours straight, if you know what I mean.
This is my recommendation for the holiday reading challenge activity called: Make a recommendation. For this activity, as you see above, we have to choose a book, recommend it to someone and then explain why recommended it to that person in the form of three reasons.

Holiday reading challenge - Cover Design
This is my new design of the cover of the book: Time hunters: Cowboy showdown by Chris Blake. We can do this activity by choosing any book and making a new cover for it. We also have to include why our cover is better so here is my reason why: My cover is different by not showing cowboys. Instead, I show their mode of transportation back in time to get to the Wild West: A whirlwind. I did this because by looking at the title, you can tell there will be cowboys in it. It's kind of obvious there will be cowboys in it isn't it? This is why my cover is better.

Retelling: Holiday reading challenge
This is my recount of the book White Fang in 25 words or less. We have the opportunity to do these different challenges as a kind of side task to keep our blogs updated throughout the holidays.
Recount:
White Fang is a half wolf half dog, that has been through it all from living in forests then in the city. Here's his story.

Holiday Reading Challenge: Setting
This is one of the activities for the holiday reading challenge given to the seniors of our school. For this activity, I had to choose a book (I chose Rick Riordans Heroes of Olympus: The house of Hades (Fiction, Mythology)). The setting in the story I chose was the lowest floor of the House of Hades. I drew: The doors of Death and the remains of a altar to Hades, of which was destroyed which explains the random pieces of rubble.
