A new year with the promise of new beginnings - that's always a good feeling! I hope that your time off for the holidays has renewed and refreshed you and now you're ready to get back to reading and writing and school in general. I know I'm excited to be back.
Speaking of feelings...I've been thinking lately about the many different ways that I feel while I read, depending on what I'm reading and who wrote it. Sometimes I feel...
surprised...uneasy...fearful...restless...worried...hopeful...annoyed...
peaceful...sympathetic...angry...happy...sad...upset...and so on.
Think about the book you're reading now and the different feelings you've had while reading. Today I want you to give me the title of the book you're presently reading and then tell me (1) how you were feeling and (2) what was happening in the story when you were having that particular feeling.
("I'm currently reading _________ and I was angry when...")
Can't wait to hear what you have to say!
Love,
Mrs. H
