Hey everyone! It is Emily from US English with Emily, and I have four titles of
some reading material that I would love to recommend to you. If it's available,
whether that be through the internet or through ordering on Amazon or through a
local library that you have. I have four titles that I love to recommend to
students in my classroom because I love books. The first one is The True
Confessions of Charlotte Doyle by Avi. See, it's an award winner right
here. In this award-winning book, it
captures your attention from the very start. The first few sentences are as
follows: "Not every 13 year old girl is accused of murder, brought to trial, and
found guilty, but I was just such a girl. My story is worth relating even if
it did happen years ago. Love it! The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle by Avi.
Totally recommend it! When You Reach Me, another winner, ah, this one's by Rebecca
Stead. I'm not exactly sure how you say the author's last name, and I
love that this story weaves itself together is how I would put it. At the
beginning, you feel like what is happening? The chapters don't seem to
align, and you're sort of confused for probably the first half of the book.
You get to the second half and things start coming together and making sense.
It's written in New York's er, or in the perspective of New York City in the 1970s
I would guess and each chapter title is related to a game show that the main
character's mother goes on. Things You Keep in a Box is one. Things That Go
Missing; Things You Hide, etc. So although, those titles are mysterious, it makes
sense based upon what's happening in the story. Now again definitely get through
the first half because after that you can't put it down. After all of what
seems sort of random stories start weaving together. I love it! Oh! Here's A
Long Walk to Water by Linda Sue Park. This is based on a true story.
What's so magical about this is this has two separate stories that sort of
weave together one is in southern Sudan in 2008 and another is in southern Sudan
in 1985. This takes two separate time frames, but in the same proximity, and
shares two young people and their two stories. By the end if you didn't own
this book, if you got from the library, you'll be rushing on amazon.com or any
other book store that you have available to you to purchase it. Excellent read!
Long Walk to Water by Linda Sue Park. The last one I have to share with you is
called Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson. This is written from a very dry and
sarcastic point of view, but the organization of the book (in addition to
having like the tone of being dry) is really kind of unique and it's very
typical what an American or Western High School look like. First Marking Period
and it starts off with Welcome to Merriweather High. In this story the
main character is a freshman in high school, and you know something's gone
down the summer before. You're not sure what, but she tells her story so
seriously, so sarcastically, but yet so beautifully
at the same time. I would absolutely recommend Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson.
We don't have time for all the book recommendations that I would love to
give you, but again this is just a snippet of what you might see in an
English classroom in the United States. Signing off this is Emily from US
English with Emily. Have a wonderful day!
