Magic Tree House Research Paper

The students at our school can be influenced about what to think based on the books that they read without even knowing it. They can change our ideas of what should and should not be written about by either eliminating the positive or the negative part of the story and by only containing one side of a story. In the library at this school, almost all students can see representations of themselves and their life experiences in the books, but some do not. Although literature tries to appeal and relate to everyone, there are always a few stories that are not told and have not been represented. These people whose stories are not represented can grow up to tell their own stories and possibly change the world.

Reading novels is my answer to every obstacle and every complication that I ever experience. I recall my elder’s claiming I will not understand anything at all The Great Gatsby says when I first bought it. I was ten the first time I read The Great Gatsby, and till now I have read it thirteen times. At the end of each book I read I analyze them, and if they come to be one of my favorites, I even write a paper for myself. Reading novels taught me to understand people, it inspired me to learn more. Every book I finish leaves me longing for

Even though some people discount fiction as a sources of learning and think it is just for entertainment sake there is still much to learn from it. Fiction being written by the author will have his or her knowledge mixed into it. Learning from someone else’s prospective will help you solidify what you believe, either by backing it up or challenging it and making your values stronger in the process. In “Telling the Truth in Lies” Virginia Stem Owens says, “Fiction brings us a certain kind of news about the world we can get in no other way, because all other ways are abstract and detached, while fiction’s way is particular.” Fiction can teach the reader to believe and hope for a happy outcome or to protect themselves so they are not hurt by what

Children’s literature is an effective teaching tool for children but also a way for children to escape their daily lives through fantasy. Didactic material can be used to teach life lessons, manners and morals where subversive and fantasy genres can allow children to release from daily expectations and allows an outlet for their large imaginations.

You can learn about through fiction because when you read it you can find the problems in the book. Within the book, there is a lot of fantasy because in the book it tells us on how there is a kid that was made from skin and born from a cow. When you read fiction books you can find new lens and find other perspectives in the book that makes the reader really think on how to look at life. In House of the scorpions the teacher didn't want to teach matt so she left and then they hired another teacher but he left to then the bodyguard came in and started to teach matt. In the book there is a lot of fiction because there is no possible way that a kid can be made of skin and born from a

My passion for reading began the summer before junior high, the English class I would be taking had a required summer reading list. I had no desire to read “boring books” over the summer and summarize them. Fortunately, my parents made me read the first book and I was hooked. Consequently, I became obsessed (in a positive way) with this unbelievable adventure; “The Hatchet” by Gary Paulsen; transported me to the wilderness that summer and sparked my love for reading. From that moment on reading became my favorite pastime. Literature expanded my world beyond the Rio Grande Valley I visited the “Island of the Blue Dolphins”, and decided I needed dogs with “Where the Red Fern Grows”. I have several beloved books that I never get tired of reading,

Fiction has been around for years and years. Like the story of Robin Hood and the Three Little Pigs. These small fictional stories have taught us so much. From stealing from the rich to give to the poor to making a little pig think outside the box to save his own little tail. However, like these stories, they will no longer be taught to elementary and middle school. The new common core system believes that fictional stories are no longer valuable to be taught. I believe that fictional books can hold the same meaning and sentimental value as non-fictional books. They can teach the same things and even provide more depth from right and wrong. Nevertheless, even though the common core system believes that fictional books no longer important to be taught, fictional books are just as important as non-fictional books in every aspect, from the author's message on society today, to how the books could actually affect the reader on a mental level, or how the message that the author is conveying could change the perspective of the readers view.

MAGIC Garden, which has been used with the health curriculum to increase awareness of healthy eating habits. The Entrepreneurship class allows students to develop their marketing and salesmanship skills by providing money for students to purchase items to later sell at the holiday fair for profit. Additionally, the music curriculum provides several opportunities for students to perform and exercise their musical skills at performances throughout the year, including the Symphony of Sound, Winter Concert, and Spring Concert. Newly implemented programs will further enrich students’ opportunities to experience authentic learning opportunities out of school. A new science program, called the Medical Academy, brings students to Norwalk Community

In this unit, I will have students learn more about two of the most important wars in the United States. To help improve interest in the topic, I have chosen two chapter books for the students to choose which war they would want to learn about. With that in mind, the two books I have chosen are written by Mary Pope Osborne and are part of her famous series “The Magic Treehouse.” These two books are:

The books that made me was the Percy Jackson series. They taught me that people from all backgrounds, disabilities and struggles can make a huge impact on the world in so many ways. One thing most people would not know about me is that I have dyslexia it is not something that I love to talk about because I don't want people to look at me different or act a certain way towards me. In the book Percy Jackson he battles with the same disabilities and still found away to impact and change the world and as a kid growing up that was huge. And growing up it has always been a struggle for me to get up and read in front of a class but as I have grown through high school I have gain a certain amount of courage that if I was to read in front of one im

My mother always read at least one story to me every night before I drifted off to sleep. Her doing so influenced many aspects of my life. I enjoyed every book that was construed to me, and the way she read the books made me feel as if I was inserted into the story myself. Every emotion that the characters felt somehow transferred to me. Each and every book that I have read taught me a different lesson or brought a different emotion. e

With today’s technology, We are able to listen to books being read to us while we are; Doing homework, doing laundry, exercising, or even just relaxing on a hammock. Technology is helping us further advance our reading skills and can keep us on the edge of our seat when suspense hits. I have read some books where I am unable to read for some time, and all I could think about is what could happen, what would happen if it happened and how the characters live would be affected if it does happen. Reading at a young age can help stimulate a child's mind and help the develop the way that they think and how fast they can solve a problem. Reading is the future and can help lead us to a brighter tomorrow. In the article, Reading Literature Makes Us Smarter and Nicer, Annie Murphy Paul explains that people who often read Fiction appear to be better able to understand other people, empathize with them, and view the world though the other person’s eyes. This link had continued even after the researchers factored in the possibility that more empathetic individuals might choose to read more novels. Reading gives us a chance to experience creativity, through our mind, and the author’s mind. In Conclusion, Reading does have the power to make us nicer

Raymond Mar, a psychologist at Your University in Canada and Keith Oatley a professor An The University of Toronto, they both say that “individuals who often read fiction appear to be better able to understand other people, empathies with them and view the world from their perspectives.” I agree that reading certain types of books can help people further understand and see things from a different point of view. Reading helps to open people's eyes and to teach life lessons or to show there are other things to believe in and know other than what they have always been told to know. Getting different types of books, types that are not always the same as the books that you normally read can help you to view things differently. For example from personal experience a new book can help your imagination grow, readings helps me a lot when I need to come up with new ideas for an art class. The new places a book takes you the new images you see while you are reading the new stores you hear and the happy ending your book might have can change the way you are feeling it can brighten up your day.

Reading develops a person’s creativity. Unlike movies where everything is determined by the producer, writer and director, books allow students to create in their minds how a particular character looks like or imagine how a scene plays out.

The beginning of my interest in reading goes way back, although I don’t have any defining “aha!” moment, where I all of a sudden enjoyed reading books. There were always books around when I was growing up, if I was at my grandparents house it was the books they kept from their youth; classics like Treasure Island or any Hemingway book, the hard covers permanently infused with dust; plenty of History books, particularly World War II history; and the children’s books I always received as presents when I visited. My mom also read a lot, but more modern books, like supernatural or light horror books, nothing too difficult (or scary). I spent a lot of time reading magazines, mostly Video Game (note: spent more time creating stories off the
