This year in Language Arts, we read a book called The Last Cuentista. This book was so fun to read! There were cliffhangers at the end of each chapter and made me more interested and want to keep reading the book. The book talked about keeping stories and passing them down, so we wrote a story about a story that was passed down to you. I really enjoyed reading and talking about the book in our class.
After reading the book The Last Cuentista we wrote a story about your ideal world. I really enjoyed writing this story because we got to write about whatever we wanted and we got to use our imagination. People wrote about cotton candy trees and a planet where you can breathe underwater. We also got to draw pictures of our planet as seen below.
After we finished reading the book and writing the stories we got to do something creative. We got to make handmade books with Peg Gignoux. We used Akua ink and leaves to make different patterns. Next we cut and collaged the paper into our book. Finally, we glued our stories into the book.
Overall, 6th Grade Language Arts was so fun and I have learned so much. I feel like I am a stronger writer and reader now! I totally recommend reading The Last Cuentista.
