Red Dog

Red Dog - Bluey, and on the other side: I've been everywhere, mate.

This is real story.

Red Dog was a Red Cloud Kelpie, an Australian sheepdog. His life was full of excitement and adventure. He travelled all over western Australia, and never really had an owner. But he had many friends, and he always knew where to go for a good meal.

I was impressed by the warmth of the people and the energy of Red Dog.

Grace and The Double Life: Long version

This story is about a Girl band, The Garage Girls. The main character, Grace, had a secret from her parents: she didn't tell them she belonged to a band group. This is because her mother, Harriet, used to be very strict. She wanted Grace to concentrate on her music and ballet exams. Grace could play all the classical stuff; however, she wanted to play something new. One day, her friends, Zadie and Holly, invited her to a new Girl band to play a bass guitar. It was great playing with her friend.  At first. her mother didn't allow Grace to do band. The more she knows Grace's effort, the more she cheers up her child. Girls decided to send their music DVD to the TV company which held a talent contest. They wanted to win and dreamed of being stars! However, Harriet found out Grace’s secret. To make matters worse, Grace lost her voice on the day of the audition. This story is about relationship of parents and children and dream.  

 

 I did a character quiz as a character person, using the shared screen of Word. ' What if you were Grace?' I also asked the question. It was very meaningful to hear everyone's ideas. 

 

In this literature circle, we discussed what to do if I were Grace. Grace had to choose between taking the piano exam or going TV contest. We had various opinion for this theme.  

My answer is going TV contest. It is because if I miss the greatest chance, I'll regret it forever. I want to live obediently to my desires. 

 

We had good discussion because of everyone’s work. We hope we can do it again. 

 

The Grace Daring: Long Review

This story is about a brave woman, Grace Darling. I knew her for the first time in this story. She lived on a lighthouse with her parents. One day, the sea was wild and angry, and dangerous.  There was a ship named Forfarshire, which was big, comfortable, and modern. However, the wind was getting stronger and all the time the big gray waves lifted the Forfarshire up and down, and white water blew over the deck so the engine broke down! In lighthouse, there are father and mother and their daughter. The daughter was a very kind child and was observing the ship in a storm all night long. Grace saw many people have drowned so she and her father decided to save them. However, it's too dangerous to go to help. Therefore, her mother stopped her go to dangerous sea.  In spite of her mother’s opposition Grace and his father went out, and they returned with nine passengers.

My roll is Character person. I did some character quiz using a power point. For the content of the quiz, I also did things such as listening to everyone's opinions. I think this quiz helped everyone understand this book.

 

We had some subject for discussion. 

First, “if you were the mother of Grace, would you allow your daughter to go out to sea?” 

All members of Rainbow team answered “No”. 

My reason is that I don't think my daughter's life can change. All mothers don't want their daughters to do dangerous things and it's normal to want them to be safe. Grace's mother couldn't stop Grace's strong feelings, but I thought it was very strong to send her daughter out. 

 

Second, “this story has some similar points for “Titanic”. 

(Connecter said,) For example, the Forfarshire in the book was the largest luxury cruise ship at the time, as well as the Titanic. And both causes of the accident are stranded. The difference is that the Forfarshire hit the rock and the Titanic hit the iceberg. This made a very big difference. Thanks to that, the Forfarshire, which hit the rock, kept the water temperature relatively warm. While Grace went to help the passengers twice, they managed to survive. If it had hit an iceberg, Grace would not have been able to save as many as nine passengers 

 

In summary, “Grace Darling” has some interesting agenda for discussion. If we have the opportunity, we would like to dig into deeper into this story.
