BOOKS! BOOKS! BOOKS!!!

SPOILER ALERT: DO NOT READ UNTIL YOU'VE READ THE ENTIRE SERIES, OR DO NOT INTEND TO FINISH THE SERIES, ALTHOUGH I DOUBT THAT IS POSSIBLE IF YOU'VE ALREADY START READING.

As you may have seen in the picture, I chose a series of books; the Harry potter series. During our student led conferences, our parents had a chance to meet up with our teachers, and when meeting Mr. Fischer, we talked about how us kids can learn better through reading. Below are some questions we answered about this topic.

Title: Harry Potter and the... Sorcerer's stone, Chamber of Secrets, Prisoner of Azkaban, Goblet of Fire, Order of the Phoenix, Half Blood Prince, Deathly hallows

Author: J.K. Rowling


1. This book made me think about ...

I have ALWAYS enjoyed the harry potter books, due to the fascinating "Harry Potter Franchise" outside the books, the Story, how I could almost feel that I was in the book itself, and the way everything was perfectly planned. IF you've read the entire series, you'll notice that almost every little detail counts like Draco Malfoy buying the "hand of glory" in the second book, the hand does not appear until the sixth book, and plays a major role in the storyline. Everything made me feel as if Mrs. Rowling had planned the entire series out even before she wrote the first book. This Book made me think about planning more carefully before writing a story.

2. This book challenged me as a reader by ...

Remember what I said about almost every little detail counts in this book? Well, After reading the entire Harry Potter series, I got used to it, and learnt not to ask too many questions, knowing that if I read on, They will be answered. That little habit forced me to apply that same skill to other books, which may be a different format altogether. That also made writing literature circe questions quite hard, as I don't ask many questions. But I'm sure I'll learn from those mistakes.

3. Don't read this book if ...

I don't think anybody should not read this book. It seems like it is perfect book for people of all ages. But it my be a more difficult read for people that likes to understand every single detail and is easy to guess how everything can affect the story.
