Lit Circles with Mansion in the Mist

If someone asked me what I liked about the book Mansion in the Mist, I’d have to say chapter 9, which is why I  re-enacted it for my reading group’s final project. In that chapter, Emerson battles the evil Grand Autarch! I sure am glad that we did this way instead of the old way (which I hated, by the way). I think these blogging skills will be important in the future, because if you want an opinion or answer to a question, you will get results from hundreds of people. Everyone has had some benefit from this, and we all loved it!

My Blogging and Book Experience

“The Mansion In The Mist” is a book that gets boring but gets exciting at the end. The book is interesting and has many great excitement and adventures in there. I like it because when it gets boring, there is a whole bunch of excitement next. My blogging experience was great even though I sounded like a frog in voice thread. The creative pictures you see and use in Illustrator, the important passages from the boo you pick out and describe in Literary Luminary, the interesting hard skinny questions you ask to make sure people read right and the thick questions you ask to make people think and want to read more in Discussion Director. Last but not least, The great connections you make in Connector to understand the book better. I’m going to miss all this fun. I learned a lot of things and I had a great blogging and book experience.

My final thoughts on the book was that I enjoyed the book because sometimes it would get very tense. Also, my favorite part in the book was when Emerson and the Grand Autarch fought because it wasn’t boring like other parts of the book. So that’s why I really liked this book. Secondly, blogging was fun because we got to use the computers and we really didn’t get to use them a lot before this all stared. Also, I liked blogging because when someone commented on your blog and they agree with you that makes me feel like I did a good job with that role. That is my final thoughts on the book Mansion in the Mist and my thoughts on the blogging that we did on the computer!

This blog will be a place to share your thoughts and ideas about The Mansion in the Mist. Students will take on various lit circles roles as they read the chapters and respond. Feel free to comment on students’ writing. We want to get a dialogue going.
