Welcome to the blog

Greetings, seventh graders! Welcome to Book Talk 7, our reading class blog.

Do you like this picture of all of you reading so studiously? I think someone is peeking. . . .

I hope that you are becoming absorbed in your books and beginning to get a feel for the world of the book. Can you imagine how it must have felt to be Anne Frank hiding in the secret annex? Can you imagine how True Son felt when he was returned to his white family? Think of all the challenges those two faced.

For your first post, I want you to consider the challenges the main character in your book faced, and think about which of those challenges would have been the hardest for you. Write a paragraph or two responding to that question or to a classmate's response to that question.

Remember the blog rules:
  1. Be nice. Don't say anything negative about a classmate or any other person.
  2. Posts must be signed with first name only (Madisons should also include a last initial).
