Blog entry

When you read a book, you should try your best to understand it. If you read a book but you don't understand it, you will think that the book you are reading is boring even the book you are reading is not boring or maybe it's the best book in the world. Today I will show you some skills that help me a lot in reading books.The skills I will show you today is Reading strategies. Before I know these skills, I really really hate to read book. The reading strategies include: vocabulary, connection, responses, questioning towers, inference, predict, visualization. Vocabulary is to write down the words thay I don't know and then I will find out what they mean later, this helps me know about some words that I don't know and I can apply the words I don't know if I necessar. Responses is to summarize the story you are reading, this helps me review the story. Inference is your opinion to the story. Prediction is what you guess will happen in the story in the future, so it helps you gain more interest in the book.Visuallization is the way you see the story in your head, this helps me express my feeling about the story. There are 3 kinds of connection and they are text to text, text to self and text to world. Text to text is when you compare the book you are reading to another book. Text to self is when you compare your books to yourself. Text to world is when you compare your book to the world.

Topic reflection

In the past few weeks, I did lots of topic but  today i just tell you 1 of my topic. The topic I want to tell you is" If you can choose any animal as a pet, what will you choose?". In the topic, I choose the animal I choose is snake. I think I like the snake is because I think that only few people in the world, if I use snake as my pet, it's kind of cool. I think if I want to improve my story, I should say more why I like to choose snake at my pet.
