This past Tuesday, our class made our make assignments in our groups. If any younger age student wanted to read this book I would definitely make sure the parent knew that this book included adult content. My group decided that since there are a few cuss words and adult subject matter that we would prefer that high schoolers read the book Eleanor and Park. We also discussed if we would let our students read these books. Many remembered that feeling of meeting someone at school that likes you and you like them back. My group tried to relate ourselves to Eleanor or Park while growing up. Throughout these past two weeks, our groups have had many deep discussions about our books. Park and Eleanor soon become friends and fall for each other. She also has troubles fitting in at school because she is the new girl in town. Eleanor throughout the book is faced with family issues. My book is about two teens who fall in love. I read Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell: I absolutely fell in love with this book and would highly suggest it to any adult reader. These books include Ready Player One by Ernest Cline, Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell, Bone Gap by Laura Ruby, Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli, and lastly, Going Bovine by Libba Bray. Our class split into five different groups and each group read a different young adult novel. When I’m not doing that, I like to do arts and crafty things and eat filet mignon.ĭuring the past two weeks in our English class we have been focusing on young adult novels. In my spare time, I love to take outrageously long strides on the beach as the rays of the sunset reflect swiftly off my boyfriend’s beautiful olive eyeballs as we listen to the waves crash ever so beautifully. I’m excited to start my career as a second-grade teacher. With this, they did research so that they can have a better understanding of the meaning of the book.Īuthor Bio: My name is Jamie and I am a senior at CSU, Chico. They each made posters, and included quotes or passages that they did not quite understand from the book.

One of my favorite quotes in the book because it describes her spot on.Īs I observed other groups, I liked how the readers of Going Bovine made the best of their Makes, considering that none of them really liked the book. My name is something I wear, like a shirt. She carried around pompoms and had a quote on her back which read: She wore a headband with a sunflower in her hair. I loved this Make because it related to Stargirl and what she would have done if she was on campus. After her outfit was complete, she went out into the real world (Chico State Campus) and sang Happy Birthday, very bravely, to a complete stranger.

Jaxon’s previous classes and put together an outfit for I really liked what the Stargirl group did. Both characters want to do what makes them happy regardless of the expectations of others and I love it.įor this week’s Makes, as a blogger, I observed what groups were doing since these makes were done in class. I sense a pattern here, with Stargirl and Vasily. Instead of doing the traditional paintings of houses and flowers just like everyone instructed, he preferred and fell in love with abstract painting. I admired the way the story ended with him painting the way he wanted. This little boy fell in love with painting after his aunt gave him a paint box, a noisy paint box in the opinion of the main character. I loved the illustrations and the story that was told. My favorite was The Noisy Paint Box by Barb Rosenstock. It broke my heart at the end when Leo convinced her to change and try to be “normal” so that more people would like her, and stop ignoring him. She always sees the best in people and situations, regardless. I love that she is so unique and care-free, with her free-spirited personality. She wears what she wants and carries around a ukulele and sings Happy Birthday to people. She walks around school not minding what anyone thinks of her, which is awesome. Everyone wants to be accepted and liked, especially in high school. I really admired Stargirl as a character more than any other character I have ever read about. The book depicted the struggles of love and the life of a high schooler. I decided to read this book because I vaguely remember how popular it was when I was younger I wanted to see what the hype was about! Now that I have finished the book, I’m glad I did. The Young Adult novel I chose was Stargirl.

Because we are no longer working with our reading buddies, we focused more on finishing our YA novels and Miller, as well as picture book presentations. This make cycle was a little different from the rest this semester.
