In my English class we read a lot of books and work a lot on grammar. Our teacher is very strict when it comes to working with correct grammar. Now when we read books that's another story. We have a packet for one of the books we are reading right right now with a lot of activities and other stuff. English is a fun yet challenging class and I hope to do a a lot more stuff later in the year!
Shabanu
Have you ever read the book Shabanu ? Well, in my English class we read Shabanu. In my opinion I really loved this book. The book talks about a girl named, Shabanu, or "Daughter of the Wind". They call her "Daughter of the Wind" because she is very wild. Shabanu is kind of a tomboy in the beginning of the book, but becomes more feminine at the end. She has a sister named Phulan who is the definition of a girly girl. Shabanu at the age of 12, soon has to be married within a year to her cousin Murad. There is action, love, and hate in this amazing book.

Rome Poem
A little while back I made this Rome Poem about the time when Rome was falling. I worked really hard on this and enjoyed making it. It did take some time to come up with all of this, but in the end I was proud of myself. I learned a lot of things about how Rome fell, but there is no really exact reason. Learning about Rome was fun and challenging, I thought that making this poem was pretty cool.
The Big Wave
In my English class we read this book called The Big Wave. This book is about 2 boys who live in Japan. They are adventurous boys who like to do many things. One boy lives near the ocean and the other one lives more on the land. Its very shocking as to what happens. I really like this book because it showed the life lesson life is stronger than death.
Crispin
Need a new book to read? I suggest you read Crispin. In this book a young boy has nothing but a dying mother and an ox. This book has been chosen to put on my website because it is a very good book. Crispin has to make some decisions that almost no 12 year old has to make. I believe that everybody should read this book because it is very interesting and very very unique.
