Endurance Language Arts Seedfolks Project Skyla

In the first trimester so far we read a book called Seedfolks by Paul Fleischman. In my opinion this book was pretty good. But not only did we have to read the book, we had to write about each of the characters and what we learned about them. We also had to do a poster about each character. Well here is what happened. Classes F, E, and G read Seedfolks. First we had to read the chapters. The chapters had the names of the main character as the titles. For example, the 2nd chapter was named Ana. Some of the other main characters were Curtis, Wendall, and Florence. For example, in Ana’s chapter it said “ I do love to sit and look out the window. Why do I need Tv when I have forty-eight apartment windows to watch across the vacant lot, and a sliver of Lake Erie?” After we read each chapter we had to write what we learned about each character. On Curtis’s chapter I wrote “ He lives right next door to Kapp’s Gym.” We also had to write what the characters did. Like when Kim buried her beans, she walked along the sidewalk to get back to her house. Next, we had to write about what the other characters said about her. Lastly, we had to draw a picture for each character based on what the story said they looked like. Lastly, once everyone was done, we had to write on a poster. On the poster we had to write what we knew about each character and see how many different things we could get. There were too many characters to count. Even though i didn’t get to participate in this part it seemed like the students were having a lot of fun. Well even though many students didn’t like reading the book they still had fun with it. I’m sure that even the teachers were having fun reading the book.
