title: Just Ella
author: Margaret Peterson
genre: fantasy
the book i read is just Ella. this book is like Cinderella but with a bit of a twist. the book goes like this, there's a girl named Ella living with her evil step-mom and her two evil daughter's. one day when all girls are invited to a ball Ella has every thing ready the dress and all except one thing shoes so as she goes for a walk she bets a shoe maker and his partner to make glass slippers that wont break. she comes back to try them on and she wins the bet and gets to keep the shoes once the evil nasty's leave on a carriage to go to palace Ella goes walking to the palace. while walking she stops a nice man in a carriage to bring her to look good. the nice man said to her "but of course." once they reach the palace the nice man said "if you come out of the palace before midnight i would be happy to drop you off." she replies "but i have no more money left," with a smile he says "it's is OK." so she swept the prince of his feet but the nice man and Ella still met each other at midnight.
i predict that the story will be exactly be like the Cinderella story but Ella wont like her new life style when she marries the prince and will want to back with her step-mom and her daughters.i cant make any connections since nothing like this happened to me but i can tell you i like this book alot but in the beginning was boring but Julia said it was good and she was very right i would recommend this book to people who think this book sounds good and people who like/liked the Cinderella story.

P.I.D's
some people are wondering if technology is OK to use during class and have questions like "what if there aren't enough P.I.D's (personal Internet devices) and some people cant do there work because of that, or what types of applications do they use with the P.I.D's?" this is written to clear all those questions up and tell you why using technology is a good thing.
the first question i will answer is " what type of P.I.D's are there and what are they used for?" there are various types of P.I.D's that are used through out the school year. we use iPad's, itouches, computers, ereader's and laptops/netbooks. P.I.D's are used for different things. we use these P.I.D's mostly for reading, finding information, finishing project's and posting post's on each others blogs. witch brings me to my next question to answer "what types of applications do you use on your P.I.D's?" like the other answer this one has more than one that we use. the more popular ones are bitstrips, voicethread, edmodo, blogger, and g-mail. the other ones that aren't as popular but are still used are prezi, and extranormal. Prezi, bitstrips, voicethread, extranormal and blogger are used for projects. G-mail and edmodo are used to communicate with are teachers after school or over the weekends.
technology has and still is helping me and my class mates in many different ways. for example say your shy and don't like to read in front of people you can use voicethread and tell your story by there (with permission of course.) or say you have a question and non of your family members under stand you can go on g-mail and ask you teacher about it. a few challenges on using the P.I.D's are that sometimes on the iPads when posting a post on your blog sometimes they delete all of what you wrote but its OK because people don't get mad or anything like that. another challenge is that sometimes there aren't enough P.I.D's but every one is willing to share so that is not a problem.
i hope this hole reflection convinced all people reading this that using technology during class is a good thing and i hope all of you reading this learned few things about using technology during class.

my 3rd readin response
Title: Claudia and the clue in the photography ( the baby-sitters club)
Author: Ann M. Martin
Genre: mystery
URL or book: book
This book is about a girl named Claudia and her friends made a baby-sitting business called the baby-sitters club also known as BSC. Claudia's new passion is of taking pictures and as the professional photographers say "capturing the moment." I wish i could tell you more but i only started Friday.
I predict that the BSC will have a mystery to solve ,and then they will find clues from some pictures Claudia took with her camera and in the end they will solve the mystery. one question i have is that "what is the mystery and will all the members of the BSC?" Two connections i have to this book is that the both of us ( Claudia and i ) both love to take pictures and baby-sitting. So far i like this book but i haven't gotten that far so i cant really judge the book yet. I still believe that the book will be good because most mystery book's i read they are all good.
I would recommend this book to people who like mystery story's especially if they involve baby-sitting, friend ship and teamwork. :D

my 2nd reading response
Title: The boy next door (a candy apple book)
Author: Laura Dower
Genre: fiction
Taryn and Jeff have been next door neighbors forever. No one ever really cared that they were boy and girl, til sixth grade. This book shows both sides of Taryn and Jeff's point of view. Once Taryn, Jeff, Leslie and Cristina (Taryn's bff's) reach sixth grade Cristina and Leslie are ready to find boyfriends. Taryn's mom told her she can only get a boyfriend til grade 8 but her bff's think otherwise, they think she should start being more than just friends with Jeff.
I predict that Taryn and Jeff will become more than friends for sixth grade but it may feel a bit weird in the beginning but it will be better later on. I also predict that Taryn and Jeff will break up over something than in the end Taryn will want him back so they do get back together.
I have only one question and it is...
"DOSE Taryn think of Jeff as more than a friend?"
I can not make any connection's to this story because first of all all of my neighbors have no kids except for one but there all girl's. Second of all nothing like this happened to be in sixth grade.
I really enjoy this book but the only thing I don't like about it is that is shows both points of view but sometimes it gets very confusing to me who is saying who.
I would recommend this book to girls of course, pre-teens and to people who thought my summary up top sounded good and was to there likings.
