ReplyDeleteI chose this book because it is filled with more sports than I knew of. Also with every sport there are tons of facts. There is also my favorite sports, ski jumping and cross country. This helps because I can see if I'm smarter than a book writer.

ReplyDeleteI choose this book because I like to play soccer and I wanted to know a little more about the history of soccer. I can tell this is non-fiction because there are real names that couldn't have been made up and there is accurate history. The quotes in the book may not be 100% accurate but are pretty spot on. It has the events and how they happened and it had Information that I did not know and showed me how the players and coaches think.

Into Thin Air is a nonfiction book about climbing Mt. Everest. I know it is nonfiction because it is about one of the most deadly seasons on Mount Everest where 12 people died. when I told my dad I liked climbing, he told me this would be a good book and I loved it. The Author didn't need to give any details to support it. he was there witnessed almost every moment.

ReplyDeleteEli G.
I think brains are amazing to! I think that brains are cool because they can control your body and keep you alive even though it is so much smaller than your body. The brain gives us our personality and thoughts. I hope you learn a lot of information about the brain.

The book that I chose is What's What in Sports, a book about sports. I feel like I connect to this book because I do sports to. Also my sister does some sports that are in this book. Steamboat is an active town so many of the sports that are in this book are here. Other people around the world can also connect because some of the sports like surfing you can't do here but you can do other places.
ReplyDeleteKenzie R.
I like how you can connect to your book. That's really cool. I also think Steamboat is a very athletic town. There is so much to do. I also think your book has an engaging title.

ReplyDelete"Who was Abraham Lincoln?" by Janet B. Pascal
ReplyDeleteI chose this book because I am interested in politics and the lives of true politicians.These are people that could be well known for their good deeds or hard work.I know this book is a nonfiction book because I have back round information about Abraham Lincoln.I know he was a real president.Another reason why this is a nonfiction book is that it does not include any description of impossible things(fairy tale creatures, imagination, etc.)

Hamsters by Kathryn Stevens
ReplyDeleteI chose the nonfiction book Hamsters because I love Hamster's but unfortunately I do not know a lot about them. I am allergic to a lot of animals and I wanted to know if they had certain breeds that would not affect me. Also learning more about them and how to care for them might make there be a better chance of getting one. Hamsters has a lot of great facts and I think I have learned a lot from it. It is also well written.

Why Matter Matters By:Dan Green this book was interesting to me because when I read the title it said Why Matter Matters and I thought of it. I read the whole book and I liked one chapter.One text that was interesting was when it said sometimes people leave there chargers connected when they don't need them and it made me think of how many energy that is wasting. Also it made me think to remember for me to unplug my charger.
