Tuesdays In The Tower Book Report

The Castle, directed by Rob Sitch, is an Australian comedy, which delves into the lives of a stereotypical Australian family, the Kerrigans. The film touchs on issues close to home in a humourous way. The audience is introduced to the classic Aussie family, narrated in the viewpoint of the youngest of the Kerrigans, Dale.

This is an informative book about the different states' flags in America. Children will enjoy learning about these flags due to the illustrations given. I would use this in a classroom setting by introducing American history. This book teaches about the national anthem, the pledge of allegiance, the mysterious why about the stars on the U.S flag, Civil War and World War. The youngest readers will enjoy this concise but informative history of the American flag with beautiful and exciting illustrations of colonial life, Betsy Ross and George Washington, Fort McHenry, and more! Included are illustrated instructions on flag etiquette, as well as the Pledge of

“The Water Tower” is a picture book written by Gary Crew and illustrated by Steven Woolman. It is a mysterious book about two boys, Spike Trotter and Bubba D’Angelo, who go out to the Water Tower for a swim and eventually, something unusual happens to Bubba after swimming in the tower. The book indicates various human experiences such as interests for peculiar entities/objects and being intimidated by the unknown.

Ah, you know what I mean. Reid summed up this issue pretty well with that one statement. I think it's an issue we have all faced at some point. We tend to forget that the readers may have no knowledge on the subject we are writing about. It's an issue I have had with my writing for the longest time. I would find myself writing a paper on a book I read, and would go on to write the synopsis of the story, without ever specifying who any of the characters were. Bob killed Jeff. Now then, who is Bob. Who is Jeff? Why did Bob kill Jeff? I would forget that my teacher may not have read the book my paper was on. I had actually once written a story in elementary school, where absolutely all of the dialogue was a string of he saids and she saids. Needless

I felt sad for little first-grade Francisco trying to change to a new country and a new school. The boy struggles to understand English and does not have an interest in school, but does enjoy the class caterpillar. The book teaches the significance of accomplishment out to others and discovery your passions, even when in difficult situations. I would recommend this book to 1st grade and up. This would be a great book for a new student who is having trouble adapting to a new world. This book is for 3th to 5th grades and Fountas-Pinnell Guided Reading Level P. This book can be used in science in the cicely of a

I would recommend reading You are Special by Max Lucado illustrated by Sergio Martinez to any young child. This book takes a theme of identity and belonging and puts it in a way that a young child will understand, but will also touch the hearts of adults.

To conclude, what I have learnt from castle in Medieval Japan is that castles were built for particular reasons like impact, wealth, protection and survival. Evidently, some never got the chance to fulfill their designed purpose as we discovered with Himeji Castle. Also that Daimyos could build castles to defend themselves against local Shoguns despite themselves being below Shoguns in the social hierarchy.

There are so many things to explore on the page. For instance, on a second look through the book, I found a Komodo dragon in the middle of the pages. It’s a great way for kids to name the animals they know and learn about new ones. They can also count how many animals of the same species they see and of course, they can learn how to read. Near the beginning of the book there is a page with just a poem called,” The Flood.” The sentences are simple and it offers many ways for small children to learn how to read. They can sound out the letters, or even take turns reading each line with someone else. There are so many routes that can be taken with this

When I was a child I remembered going to the grocery store with my parents and dropping a few coins into the red kettle during the holiday season. For me, it was exciting to drop my coins in and have the bell-ringer congratulate me for donating to a great cause. At a young age, I didn't know how the few dimes I gave were going to make a difference in someone's life. I wish I had known there was so much more behind the red kettle. Furthermore, the moral of the red kettle is about the joy of giving no matter how young or old. My children book, The Red Kettle, fits perfectly into the age group 6 to 8 because it's what I must remember when I was that age.

On his journey Sir Gawain discovers a stunning castle, glimmering in the distance. The castle seems to magically appear right as he is in need of shelter. (Smiley) The host of the castle, Lord Bertilak, invites Sir Gawain to be his guest.

It is important to note that stories can be read individually to appeal to younger audiences. Although each tale in the book can stand on its own, the one I recommend most for this purpose is “The Stinky Cheese Man”. Unlike the original tale, where everyone chases The Gingerbread Man because he smells good, The Stinky Cheese Man is so gross smelling that no one wants to chase him (Scieszka & Lane 2007). The story is long enough to satisfy a young child but short enough to keep them engaged. Although the book is better if read all the way through, John Scieszka and Lane Smith made sure that the individual tales could stand alone to cater to all

For Elodie Kendrick, Princess of Zelnon, the castle was both a prison and a refuge. From the moment she was born, it had been her home, and the one place she should have been comfortable. That

This particular story seems that it may be more appropriate for older elementary students due to its fierce story line. Unless, this version is toned down and intended for younger children. In any case, the plot does provide students with an example of cooperation and teamwork. On the other hand, it could also be a poor example for already disorderly students. After Hansel and Gretel have been abandoned by their father and his cruel wife they must work together in order to try to find a way back home and to ensure their survival. Unfortunately, they come across a house made of alluring confectionaries inhabited by an evil witch that captures the siblings, forcing them to help her cook the children for her consumption. Luckily, Gretel was able

According to Renaissance, Marshmallow interest level is for lower grades (PreKK-2) and its ATOS book level is scored at 4.7 (Renaissance, 2017). This means that students should be able to independently read this book by fourth grade, seventh month of school. The Lexile measurement scale is AD1000L. Some great ways to integrate across the curriculum includes: use this story as an introduction to problem/solution

When people think of a medieval castle, they often tend to visualize a “fairy tale representation” of something that they had seen in a Disney film. The buildings are usually lavish-looking and filled with whimsical wonder and intrigue, but no one really wonders about the story behind the architecture and style used to construct it. This generic idea is merely scratching the surface of what an actual castle from the medieval era would look like or stand for. From the history of its walls to the drama behind its gates, medieval castles prove to be so much more than just a large, beautiful building sat on top of a hill. Once one learns of the backstory behind a castle and the brutal struggles it
