    1. Good job. Repost taking out the space between between "decided to" and "Help" and uncapitalize the word "Help."

    1. You wrote, "They have a car with a sale on it." Do you mean a "for sale" sign?
      Last two sentences in your paragraph, check the spelling of "there." It should be spelled "their."
      Remember to capitalize the first word of a sentence within quotation marks.

  5. Tonight I read Mockingjay written by Suzanne Collins. I read page 97 through page 108

    Not really sure what I'm supposed to do if nothing that has happened that I don't agree with with a certain character so I'm just going to do a summary. Katniss had to do a mission recently. She went to district 8 And had to go into a hospital and go and help everybody. Everyone there were injured from the bombings on district 8 so people had like big cuts from metal and without legs and arms. When Katniss came into the room everybody started whispering about Katniss because they were also amazed to see her. So all of them were shouting her name. Somebody outside was alerting everybody inside the word giant ships above the hospital the people in the hospital, get out but Katniss her friend Gayle and everybody went out to see what was happening. They were hovercrafts with bombs so they ran all the way out of district 8 one of them hit Katniss but she was okay. Then they ran into the forest away from district 8 and they looked back at the hospital they were in the whole thing was gone.

  6. Tonight I read The Hunger Games written by Suzan Collins. I read page 70 through page 81. In the book I am reading, the main character, Katniss decided to run away with dale. I don't agree that she should do that, because she will leave her family and that won't be good, because Katniss is in charge of her family. Her mom is always sad after her husband died so she does nothing.

    1. The word "because" is not a conjunction so it does not need a comma before it. When you use the word "because" in place of the word "and," you actually change the second independent clause to a dependent clause.
      I'll show you an example in class and we'll correct your sentence together.

  7. Tonight I read Magic Tree House written by Mary Pope Osborne. I read page 43 through page 48. Jack and Annie were helping people get off the Titanic. Then someone said, "I found fireworks, can I light them?" Jack said no because it could hit someone. But then he lit them because he was in a safer area. I think that was not a good idea to set off the fireworks because someone could get hurt. It was unsafe to be out in the cold water and to set off fireworks.

  8. Tonight I read Popcorn days and buttermilk nights. written by Gary Paulson I read page 16 through page 63.
    In the book that i am reading,Carly, decided to punched a kid three times in the nose. he punched him because tinker laughed at him when he fell off the calf and landed in the manure. I would not have punched tinker but i would have said:"don't laugh at me because I could have gotten hurt". I would not have hit him because he is smaller than my and hitting people is mean.

    1. 1. Your title needs capitalization corrections.
      2. Remove the period after your title but add a period after the name of the author.
      3. Remember to capitalize "i" because, well, you ARE important!
      4. Let's work on your punctuation for the quotation together.

    1. Great job!
      I just see two punctuation errors.
      1. Ending punctuation ( . ) after the sentence "I read page 140...."
      2. Place a comma after Harry's name in the first sentence.

  10. Tonight I read Who was Rosa Parks. Written by Harrison and Mcdonough. I read pages 30 through page 45.

    In the book I am reading, my main character, Rosa Parks, made the decision to stand up for her civil rights. Her decision that changed history was while taking the bus to sit in a seat that was for the white person and she refused to move. I agree with this decision because it was not fair that some people had to sit in the back and others had to sit in the front because of their skin color. I agree with her decisions because it changed history.
