Monday, September 27, 2010. How can we use literary elements to “bring into existence” the story of Lucky? Friday, September 24, 2010. This wordless picture book, Tuesda.

Jessica's Blog: "The Giver"
http://jessicalitblog.blogspot.com/2010/10/giver.html
Sunday, October 24, 2010. The concept of "sameness" is something that this society highly values. The population not being able to see colors allows this concept to take flight. There are some things that even black and white can't hide. Jonas has light eyes, which is something that is never spoken of but it is a difference that can be seen with their vision. November 1, 2010 at 3:01 PM. I totally relate to this post- I didnt know they saw in black and white until about halfway through the book!

Elise's Blog: A Safe Home for Manatees

Tuesday, November 9, 2010. A Safe Home for Manatees. A Safe Home for Manatees. By Priscilla Belz Jenkins. Illustrated by Martin Classen. 5/5 * * *. I think this book has such great examples of the negative impact we as humans have on animals. Then at the end of the book, the Manatee’s finally reach a “Manatee-safe area” which humans created. This could open the door for many different animal rights or environmentally friendly groups to be discussed or simply introduced. November 10, 2010 at 12:20 PM.
