I ❤️ Books!

Hello my lovelies! Today I am going to be talking about books, books and more books. Over the past few weeks we have been doing novel study. Enjoy my blog!

So like I said up there, we have been doing novel study. There were a few novels to choose from, but I chose to do Sinking by David Hill. I will be doing a story rating later. So for our novel study, we had to read the entirety of the novel, and complete the novel study slides. I will now share pictures from my novel slides.
So when we started we had to start off with the orientation. We had to use a paragraph from our story, that shares the setting. Here is mine

Our next step was to create a google drawing that annotates the setting. Annotate means to add notes. It took me a while to come up with how I was going to do this, but I am happy with how it has come out. As you can see I have trees, like the paragraph, a footpath and shoes! Take a look.

After that, we had to make our character study. The main character in the story is called Conrad. The next, is Bex, and finally, Bex's Grandfather (if you want to know more I am explaining later). I had to explain things about how Conrad looked, acted like, and his characteristics. It took a little bit of time to find some words that I thought would describe him best. This is mine!

After the last step, we had to make do a story mountain video. Our climax. We had to explain the novel. Here is my video.

Finally, we had to make a DLO (Digital Learning Object). I made mine on story-board, pretty much you make a bunch of pictures with backgrounds, cool characters and animals and other objects. This is mine!

Now for me to explain. So during sinking there are three main characters, the lead, Conrad, the second, Bex, and the third, Bex's Granddad. During the story Conrad is making his way to swim training and Bex's Granddad, George, jumps out and starts screaming things like "Ted, Ted, I'm sorry, I didn't mean too!". Bex alerts Conrad that George is very ill, and that his friend, Ted died in the local river, Te Horo. During the story George meets Conrad, and they get into some pretty good conversations. One day, as Conrad goes over George asks Conrad privately, to come back in ten more minutes. After Conrad comes back, George tells  him that he got a letter with some mean stuff in it. Later that week, he has a letter saying he's gone to say goodbye. Bex and Conrad rush down to Te Horo to find George standing there. Suddenly kids go into the dangerous parts of Te Horo. Conrad jumps in, soon followed by his friend, George, and another guy from swim training. They save the two children, but George is still splashing around. Later they find him downstream. Sadly he died. I rate this book a 7/10. I think it was pretty good, I recommend this book for 9-11 year olds.

Thanks guys so much for reading. I hope you enjoyed my blog. Have you ever done anything like this, what book did you read! Give me a book review in the comments! Bye! ❤️
