C4K Summary (February)

Blog Post 1.

 In Kayleigh W's recent blog post from Mr. Boylen's 7th grade lit class, she summarizes the book Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer. I was impressed with summary she wrote for the book. The summary wentinto great detail and and it only took her one paragraph to write about the characters and book. Although it was a great summary, there were some spelling mistakes. Overall look and creativity of the blog post was great! 

I commented on Kayleigh's blog post and informed her who I was and where I'm from and that I am also writing a blog for one of my classes at school, so that was cool! I wrote in my comment how impressed I was with her ability to write a book summary in just one paragraph. I also informed her that I actually read this book when I was in the 9th grade and the fact that she is reading it at the 7th grade is amazing.  There were a few spelling mistakes that I located in the blog but I told her it is okay that I'm in college and I still spell things wrong. I also mentioned that she made a very good point at the end of her post when she said that the book shows that "there is adventure out there". I told her that this is a very true statement and that I hope she keeps reading and experiencing the adventures of the world.

She explains that reading for her is an escape from the real world. Mikayla likes reading science fiction and also a little fantasy. In her blog, Mikayla also mentioned that she started really enjoying reading when she was in the 6th grade and ever since then has read 50 books!

In my comment to Mikayla's post I informed her who I was and where I was from. I also informed Mikayla that I too share her love for reading. Mikayla's blog post was interesting to read because it was very detailed and informative and shed some light to who she is as a reader. I mentioned in my comment that I agreed with her statement about reading being an escape from the real world because it is for me as well. I stated in my comment that I was really fascinated that Mikayla loves reading so much at a young age!

I wished her luck with reading and expressed how much I hope she continues to love reading as she grows older.
