Reading

I just finished reading some of the picture books again for class and I think it's very obvious why the books would be appealing to children. The pictures really make the book what it is. I thouroughly enjoyed watching the pictures of the book that had no words in it. It still told a story really well, but I thought that there were many reasons why it's also important to have words in a book too. Each type has its own benefits and downfalls, but I think I would rather read a picture book even with just a few words. The ones without words are a little too ambiguous for my taste. I think that these journal entries are very important to our outside reading and yet I still managed an F because I didn't do entries over spring BREAK. Which is supposed to be a break from school. Great. I actually worked hard to try to bring up my entry grades in this class. I think that the books that we read hold a really great importance in our class and I think that the key to these entries is the fact that everyone can choose the books they want to read. It shouldn't matter so much what type of literature you read as long as you are experiencing the culture.
