Today I read two chapters of Just Tricking. One was called Playing Dead. It was when Andy pretended to be dead on his bed so that he wouldn't have to go to school. Then his parents thought that he was actually dead. They dug a hole by the lemon tree and buried him there, but his dog found him and dug him up. Then his parents pretended that they were zombies and at the end they said "Pranked you!"
The next chapter was about this radio station that had this competition called Beat the Bomb. To win Beat the Bomb you had to say stop to the money amount before the bomb explodes. Andy rang up a nerd at his school and pretended to be the radio person but the boy was too busy doing his homework. In the end Andy tricked him but then he found out that the boys dad had died and felt sorry for him so when Andy got rung up by Beat the Bomb and he won $502 Andy and Terry got $1 each and gave the rest to the boy who he had tricked.

Cameron you have a real talent for retelling the important ideas from the books you read. This skill will help you sort and sift information at Intermediate and College.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if you could explain to others how you work out what the important things are?
Thank you Ms Daniels. I read slowly and take every word in. I was just thinking of the main things that the chapter was about, not the little describing parts. It's kind of hard to explain.
