Hello,
This term so far we have been doing Novel Studies. We got to choose which novel to study. There was: Holes, The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief , The Eagle in the snow and The Book thief. I chose to study the Boy in the Striped Pyjamas. Each week we had to read up to a certain point in the book and answer questions about each chapter that we read. We then also had to complete a create task each week. I really enjoyed reading the Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, I found the ending quite sad but I would still definitely recommend this book to a friend to read.
Our first task was to create a set of slides and then go onto Canva and make the main characters on AI generator. We then had to answer all of our comprehension questions from our chapters on this slide. Here is my slideshow.
Our create task for the first week we started reading this book was to write a journal entry as Bruno about what it was like for him in a chapter of your choice. I chose to do it on Chapter 5. Here is my journal entry.
Our create task for the second week was to create a new book cover for our book. We had to include a blurb on the back and at least one picture on the front. Here is my book cover.
Our create task for the 3rd week of reading our book was to draw a picture of a charcter of your choice ( I chose Bruno ) and then describe them. Here is my drawing.

For the last week of reading our book our create task was to either write a letter to Gretel as Bruno explaining all about Shmuel and all about them or to write a letter as Bruno to Luitenant Kotler all about why he does not like him and how he treats him and Pavel. I chose to do the first option. Here is my letter.
