| My Book Reports (Continued) Here are some more of my book reports. They are just like a book report. |
| Here is a book report that I wrote in 4th Grade. It should still be helpful. |
| My Book Report This book is called Ragweed. Ragweed is a great book. Avi, an award-winning author, writes this fun-filled story. Brian Floca illustrates this great masterpiece. These two people make a great team. They have written four other stories together. This story takes place in the country at the beginning of the story and for the rest of the story it takes place in the city. It has excitement and adventure, which is one of my favorite types of books. This book wasn’t too challenging for me so out of 1-5 it would be a 2, though it is fourth grade level. I chose this story because when I saw this book in our school’s library I knew I had heard of it before and thought it would be a great book for a report. And it was. The main thing this story is about is a country mouse, Ragweed, who leaves his country life for the city where he finds excitement and adventure. I liked how the author makes you feel like a mouse when you read this story. I didn’t like how the author talked about one thing for a long time. That is what I would change in this story. My overall rating for this story would have to be a 9 out of 1-10. I really enjoyed this story. Other books by this author are, Night Journeys, The Barn, and Amanda Joins The Circus. Of course these aren’t all the stories Avi has written. Avi is an award-winning author, and was born in 1937. The illustrator of this story, Brian Floca, has illustrated 4 other books with Avi. I would recommend this book for imaginative kids. Even if you were not, I would recommend this book for 3rd and 4th grade level. Why? Because this story is more fun when you are imaginative, but if you’re not it is fun anyway. I hope you read Ragweed and enjoy it as much as I did. |
| Rosa Parks By: Sam Rosa Parks was a wonderful woman full of courage. Here is what she did: On December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks, a 42-year-old seamstress in Montgomery, Alabama, started a revolution. She stepped onto a city bus that evening, tired from a long day of sewing at a local department store, and took an empty seat in the designated “colored” section. As the “white” section at the front of the bus filled, the white driver ordered Parks to give up her seat. She refused to do this action, and was arrested and jailed. If I were Rosa Parks I would have been very nervous to do this. That is why I admire her so much. Rosa Parks’s full name is Rosa Louise McCauley Parks. She was born on February 4, 1913, in Tukegee, Alabama. She then grew up on a small farm with her brother, mother, and grandparents. She attended a school for African-American children. The old, one-room schoolhouse was only open five months a year and just went up to sixth grade! I can’t imagine what it would be like for Rosa Parks. Here is one thing she said: "There was not much I could do except struggle on. There were times when it would have been easy to fall apart or to go in the opposite direction, but somehow I felt that if I took one more step someone would come along to join me." I hope that you have now learned a little bit about Rosa Parks. You can now see she was a wonderful, brave African-American woman. I now hope that you admire Rosa Parks just as much as I do!
