Literary Luminary- Lovisa

This week I was Literary Luminary. My passages were:


  • Page 5 paragraph 5. I choose this passage because it was very funny and they described what they would do and how they would be so accurate with they were.  
  • Page 13 paragraph 2. I choose this because I liked how it went into depth how they introduced Phoebe. 
  • Page 16 paragraph 2. I choose this because it really described her mother for how different she was to her mother and father. It was also really funny. 
  • Page 24 whole page. I liked this because it was very dramatic and it is different to all the other paragraphs because it is one opinion. 
  • Page 32 paragraph 2. I liked it because it was very dramatic and kind of turned the story upside down.   

Walk 2 Moons -Illustrator Sofia

   This week's Day 2 , for our first meeting  of "Walk 2 Moons' I was the Illustrator. We read until chapter 9,pg 46.
I drew the most important part of the book(so far). I drew when Salamanca Tree Hiddle tells Grans and Gramps the story about Phoebe Winter-bottom and Miss Margaret Cadaver. They were on a long trip to go see Sal's mom. Here Sal connects Phoebe's story with hers and the book starts to get interesting.

  • Sal was encouraged by her grandparents to tell a story about her experience in Euclid.
