Dear Mrs.Zrihen,
I just started the book called the path to Camlann: the death of King Arthur by Rosemary Sutcliff. An before reading strategy I used in this book was to look at the cover and at the synopsis to figure out what the story might be about, like in this story I figured out that this story is going to be about the death of King Arthur from the book written by Rosemary Sutcliff. Another strategy that I used was to skim and scan for text features like illustrations; this book had illustrations when I began reading. Some during reading strategies I used when I was reading this book was to use context clues for unknown words, like the word " Pulleth" which I then figured out that it meant pull, but used in the English that British people used back in the day. Another strategy I used was to make predictions on basic events and using background knowledge to make conclusions. The after reading strategies that I'll use are going to be to ask myself questions of what happened in the text and to confirm my predictions.
I didn't find any important passage in the story yet, but the genre of this book is folktale, legend because King Arthur is a legend. Since I haven't read that much so far I think the tone of the story isn't clear yet, but I think is mysterious because he is talking about how King Arthur had done so much and we don't know what is going to happen. The mood that I felt was excited about what was going to happen.
The pattern of organization of the book is chronological order because of the clue words, next, then, ETC. The main character in the book and the antagonist is Arthur Merlin and some others that I think are going to be involved. I haven't gotten that far, so I don't know the antagonist. The conflict I think is that the times of the rule of King Arthur are at its latest and darkest, so maybe Arthur has to survive. The setting is in Camelot, the capital that Arthur named. The author purpose is to entertain the reader with this legend. The author's perspective is unknown because I don't think the author is supporting anything.
I am in the exposition where the author is refreshing the reader the earlier stories she wrote for the reader to understand this book, because this is a sequel. I haven't really found any figurative language or moral, but the point of view of the story is 3th person. from what I have read I think this book should be rated 8 out ten because the author is making me interested and I just started anyways.
Your favorite student,

Dear Juan,
ReplyDeleteGreat readers journal I love the fact that you had everything though I have some concerns. For next time capitalize all the words in the title it is a must I did not do that last week and she told me I had to. Another thing is I am not sure about this but I think you have to have a passage that is interesting to you because there is always something that pulls you attention. Now some good things I liked was the way you wrote your strategies you wrote why and how you used them. Lastly I like the way you expressed how your pattern of organization was chronological order by using key words.
I have some questions I would like you to answer,
How would you have solved the conflict?
How much pages is your book ?
Do you recommend this book to me?
Did you like the way the story was written?
Did you want this book to have a series because it sounds like that kind of book with things that can keep on going?
Sincerely,Bar Peretz

Dear Bar,
ReplyDeleteThat is why I picked the passage and thank you I will capitalize the title.
Lastly is not a word.
I haven't that much in the story but I might put on my next RJ.
My book is 143 pages.
I might recommend this to you.
I did like the way the story was written.
No because then the author would talk about another person because this book is about the Death of King Arthur.
