Our presentation is about Amelia's notebook about MARISSA MOSS:

She has written and publish several books as a continuation from Amelia's notebook. The books were very interesting and funny, any children and adults like us enjoy reading books like this. As a group we decided to create a move clip over the book and with our own voice too.

She has published over 40 books, it took her alot of hardwork to publish a book and revising at the same time. Our book that we are presenting is a 3rd grade level.

This is an interesting website about Marissa Moss and her books: www.marissamoss.com

Genre presentations: 3321 m&w

The first presentation was really interesting and really cute. I like how they did and use a play to show the story of the book, and I also like how they created the outfits and the background, it was very interesting.

The second group also did a really good job about the recycling activity and how they created the poster and showed us what is to recycle and what is not. The movie clip was pretty cool too.

What is Non-Fiction?

Whenever I see a Non-Fiction book, to me is something that can be based in a true event, biography, and informational.

For an example:

Autobiography/biography- Written about a person’s life.

Essay- Can be based on research or personal experience. Written in paragraph form, usually five or more

Interview- Recorded word for word. May be written in bullet format or like a drama
and etc.

EDRG 3344 M&W (What is Narrative?)

Good Evening Everyone!

OK, well last week I couldn't’t attend class on Wednesday and I found out we were supposed to write about what Narrative is.

Narrative has a beginning, middle, and an ending to a story. It is mostly based in first person. Every paragraph must have at least 4-6 sentences and at least the 5 paragraphs in a narrative. Below are the elements of narrative:

Setting- Where the story takes place.

Details- elaborate and add more information.

Character- Description of the character and their role played in the story.

Plot- The events that occur in the story.

Conflict- The struggle between two opposing people.

Resolution- How it’s resolved and the how the situation in the story ended.

Climax- it is the most interested part in the story.

For an example: Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk and The Lion and the Mouse.

EDRG 3321 Fiction Book activity

Today class was really fun! Mrs. Pickett had us make fiction book with a big white paper.
I believe my group did a good job in this book, I can t wait to present it. In the front cover we had to write and draw what fiction is to us. For an example when we walk into the library how do we know this section of books is fiction? Basically if the book looks fantasy, fairytale, adventurous and etc. it shows fiction. Then inside the book we had to write the elements of fiction. For an example, the setting, the character, plot, and etc. We also decided to draw inside to show more details of the book. And finally in the back of the book we had to write our names and tell a little bit about us. :)
It was fun working as a group!
