2015, Knopf I've been delving into the fascinating world of sketchnoting, and have been practicing my skills (and trust me, you should see the very first one I created....practice does help!) I've seen professor Karin Perry from Sam Houston State University do book reviews via sketchnotes and decided to try it out. What is NOT in the sketchnote is my personal review. So this is what I think of this book: WOWOWOW!!! This is 599 pages of intense plot, conflict, and survival all set in a science fiction thrillfest based on documents, journals, e-mails, imessages, and high security reports... and even concrete poetry. The format itself is enough to draw the reader in and it reads fast because of this. The characters are an excellent mix of adults and teens, which makes this science fiction novel so believable. Adding diagrams of the ships adds a deeper dimension for the readers as well as their mode of travel through wormholes. This is a deep space chase that will grab you to turn the next page to see what happens. Huge twist at the end - VERY unexpected! One of the top 10 best books I've read this year! Highly recommended for JH/HS.

Back to school is a magical time in the classroom. I just love all the great read alouds that tie into the themes we teach at this time of year. There are so many great ideas for books to read at the beginning of the year for all grades. This is my all-time favorite read-aloud book for the first week of school for fourth grade. Photo from Amazon.com You can find The Name Jar HERE. I use this book as a jumping off point for my name unit, which is the first unit I teach in Language Arts. Students research the meaning of their name, we make name glyphs and it leads to a lot of great discussions. For this unit, I go to my local library and check out a ton of baby name books so that my kiddos can start researching. Researching is one of the strands we teach in fourth grade and there's nothing more motivating to research than your own self! The Name Jar is beyond great in helping introduce making text-to-self, text-to-text and text-to-world connections. The kiddos can really relate to Unhei, especially during the first week of school. I have a packet of activities in my store for this unit! You can check it out {here} if you're interested in pre-reading, during reading and post-reading activities such as vocabulary work, discussion questions, writing prompts, an expository writing project and much more!
