#21 Readers Journal 1/24/12 Dear Mrs. Zrihen I just finished a book called Guinness World Records 2010. One quote that really stood out to me was:
“The most children born at a single medically recorded birth is nine.”
This quote is interesting to me because I think it is interesting to see a women that has nine baby’s in her stomach at once and I’m wondering how she got nine baby’s in her stomach all at once.
I used many strategies before, during and after I read this book. One strategy that I used before I read this book was to skim and scan this book for any text features. Another strategy that I used before I read this book was to read the title to see if I would be interested in this book. One strategy that I used while I was reading this book was to ask questions. Another strategy that I used while I was reading this book was to use context clues for what ever word that I didn’t know. One strategy that I used after I read this book was to answer my questions. Another strategy that I used after I read this book was to reflect on what I just read and put it in to my readers journal.
I was able to identify many non-fictional elements in this book. The genre of this book is informational because it gives information about many different topics. The topic of this book is world records. The main idea of this book is world records in 2010. The main idea is implied because it is not clearly stated. The essential message of this book is that I f you think that you have a special talent that nobody else could to try out and you mite be a record breaker and then you will be recognized.
A compare and contrast relation ship that I found in this book was that everybody or everything was in the world record book for breaking a record but they were all in the book for different talents. A cause and effect relationship that I found in this book was that if you had a talent then the effect would be that you would have a chance to break a record and be recognized. Some text features that I found in this book were pictures, which help readers visualize what is happening. There was captions, which explain what the picture is about, dates, which tells us when the event to took place. And there are bullets, which help explain the topic more clearly.
I would recommend this book to everyone because it is very interesting. I would rate this book a 10 out of 10 because it was very interesting and meaningful. All in all I thought this book was very entertaining.
SINCERELY,
Roxanne Fine
