Passage Picker MILOS

In this Literacy Circle I was Passage picker and my job was to see and look in what paragraph there are important parts or the parts that we dont need in the book. In this job the first paragraph i chose was chapter 9 and it was the first sentence in the first paragraph. I thought this paragraph explains a lot about what is the chapter going to be about and the first paragraph already predicted for us. My classmates agreed with me that it was very important.
The second paragraph i chose was a paragraph that didn't include any important information about the book. I think if there wasent this paragraph in this book that the book would stay the same because this paragraph dosent give any information. Again my friends said they agree with me because when they read through it also they saw it was useless.
The last paragraph i chose was because that particular paragraph was very helpful for us to predict because it told us what is going to be in the awaiting chapter and how the setting and place will be held. My group disagrees with me because they think it dosent say so much and is the most important paragraph because i think that without this paragraph we wouldn't know what the chapter is saying.

literary luminary-Dasha

                                                           

 literary luminary

For this meeting we decided to read the chapters fifteen through twenty. The titles of these chapters were:

• this way to infinity
• a very dirty bird
• unwelcoming committee
• castle in the air
• the return of rhyme and reason
• good-by and hello

This was our last meeting for 6th grade, therefore we finished our book. The book was very entertaining and had a lot of dialogue , metaphors as well as alliteration. All of these qualities made the book very fun to read.
For this meeting I decided that I wanted to be the literary luminary the paragraphs I chose were

• paragraph 2 page 197. The reason I chose this paragraph is because it had a lot of metaphors which caught my attention while reading it
• paragraph 3 page 201. I chose this one because it was very funny and caught my attention while I was reading it.
• paragraph 1 page 219. I liked the way the author used the dialogue to bring the story to life
• paragraph 2 page 234. This paragraph was very silly which is why i enjoyed it and it caught my attention

1. When Milo felt so tired when they were on the stairs, he fell down because there were so many stairs.That reminded me of a time when   I was climbing up the stairs, and I got tired, I l also wanted to fall but I survived going to the very top. 

2. The gentleman they met after the bird reminded me of slender man. He was tall , he wore a tie and a suit, but the thing that reminded me of slender man the most was the white mask on his face. But he was nice that's the only difference.  

Madison - Illustrator - Chapters 15-20

       For this literacy circles meeting, we read chapters 15-20, and I was the illustrator. I drew Milo's magic staff as I thought of it before they described the staff itself. I actually liked my magic staff much better than the one described in the book. 😃😃😃 The magic staff saves Milo from a demon, who makes them do ridiculous tasks that take forever.
