Reading "Tweets"

#engchat #readingtweets #educhat 

Reading Reflection:

Today, you will using the format of Twitter to compose "Tweets" about the post it notes you took while reading on Friday. Your reading tweets will contain 140 characters or less - ncluding spaces and punctuation. In total you will create 5 "tweets:

- An intro tweet that gives the title of the book, the page that you are currently on, and your initial reaction to the book:

The Girl i/t Steel Corset (203) my 1rst steampunk book. I enjoy the dark mystery- great change from the Dystopian fic I've been reading #intro
-Your second tweet will discuss a question (?) you had while reading:

?- Is Finley Jayne the only character with superpowers? My guess= no, there will be a group of character to soon be introduced #question

 
-Your third tweet will discuss a comment you had while reading:

Favourite quote so far " ___________________" (pg 123) #comment

-Your fourth tweet will discuss a prediction (!) your had while reading:

!- This is definitely going to be part of series/trilogy. Too many characters, to much conflict going on to all be resolved in 1 book. #prediction

-Your last tweet will ask an open-ended, discussion question for your classmates.

Anybody else read any steampunk? Or tired of dystopian fiction? The Hunger Games was great, but I'm tired of all the copycat books. #discuss


You will be composing these tweets on paper today in class, and tonight you will post them in the comments section of this post. You will need to post all five of your tweets, but you should also read and respond to what your classmates post.

90% of the time, I h8 books Im assigned in class, anyone else have school books they just despised and why? #discuss

Ashlyn Erickson said...

I like intense books! They keep you hooked the whole time, but I usually put them down for a bit to take a breather (just like Breaking Bad, sometimes you just gotta pause, walk out and come back when you're prepared)

Emily Pedreira said...

?- Are Will #1 & Tiny going to stay friends for the whole book? My guess is no, they don't seem they will make it #question

Will #1 seems like a loser since he doesn't have too many friends. He has only ever spoken 4 words to his "4th bff" #comment

Has anyone else read this book and found it as cheesy as I do? #discuss

Unknown said...

? I wonder if Noah will become a "twitcher" like his brother?

"Tell me something, Noah. Which is more important: freedom or happiness?" "You can't be happy unless your free," Noah said. (41) dope quote.#comment

1) Sloppy Firsts(24) A pretty slow start, like many books I've read before. I really do hope it picks up a bit (or alot). #hopingformore #intro
2) I'm not sure whether or not I'm intrigued by the title or turned off by it, Sloppy firsts of what? Boyfriends? Make outs? Or more? #question
3) People like Manda, Bridget, and Sara are my least favorite type of people to deal with. Poor Jess has got some major B****es on her hands #comment
4)Marcus is such an odd ball and not Jess' type but I think he will play an important role in telling Jess' story later on. #prediction
5)Does anyone else find it dificult to keep reading a book that's started slow? I'm having trouble RN. Any tips? #discuss

Unknown said...

Started reading Room (22) today. I kind of like it, but not sure where it's going. Seems like a mom and son are locked in a house together. #intro

? - Why does Jack keep calling objects like they have a name? Maybe a lack of social interaction #question

I've found that Jack and his mom use household items to amuse themselves and only get 1 new item a week. #weird #comment

! - Kinda thinking Old Nick could be the person who delivers their "Sunday treat" but still unsure why they're locked in a house #prediction

Anyone else red this book? One of the first books in a while I'm actually interested in #room

The Night Circus (12), interesting start to this fiction novel, not sure if I'm a fan yet. The story has potential though. #intrigued #magic #mystery #intro

Did Celia's mother commit suicide? Is that why she showed up at her father's doorstep? #abandoned #confused #question

Lots of motifs used in this book. I like the imagery, the author is very descriptive. #paintingpictures #imagination #lights #colour #comment

Celia definitely has some kind of power. My guess; telekinesis. #powers #magic #shizgonnagodown #prediction

Anyone else read this book, or a fan of fiction and mystery? I think it could be good. #fiction #discuss

"I think an author who can write from the other genders POV has real talent. Agree/disagree? #discuss"

I love this observation! Tell my why you think this is. . . Anyone else out there agree/disagree? Guys, vould you write from the perspective of a girl? Girls, what about you (vise versa)?

Unknown said...

Why do animals make us so emotional?

I actually had to stop reading this book, because I didn't want to cry in class in front of my students. Picked it up again later on Christmas break when I could cry at home without an audience!

My tweets:

Stitches (257) is a bit confusing, but I like how more elements are added to the storytelling method as David learns the truth #intro

?- What's up with the fetus jars in the hospital? That's pretty messed up; I'd be pretty freaked out too #creepy #question

Wow, David's parents are harsh. It really kinda seems like no one loves him. #depressing #comment

What would you do if you had a vocal chord removed and couldn't speak anymore? #discuss

Which of your senses would be the hardest to lose? Sight, sound, hearing, speaking . . . Why is that sense so important in your day to day exsistance?

Caitlin Graham said...

The giver (89) I like the futuristic feeling as well as the mystery to the book. #intro

What do they mean when people get released from the community? #question

People in the community are very careful of word choice. #comment

I think that the old receivers story will have to do with the rule that your are not allowed to ask for a release #prediction

Has anyone read the books following this one? #discuss


Unknown said...

Looking for Alaska (19) is a quirky yet intriguing story (so far), but I'm in love with John Green's way of writing! #intro

?- Why does Miles leave his school in Florida to go to boarding school in Alabama? Did something happen at school? #question

After falling in love with another one of John Green's books, "The Fault in Our Stars", I have very high expectations for this book #comment

!- Miles' talks about finding his "Great Perhaps", and I think it will end up being this girl, Alaska #prediction

They're making his other book "The Fault in Our Stars" into a movie. I wonder if they'll make a movie about this book? Would ya see it? #discuss

Unknown said...

The Perks of being a Wallflower (29) suicide as the first topic... depressing! Very interesting book, excited to read more #intro

"We accept the love we think we deserve" (24) thought provoking line #truth #comment

My Tweets for today's reading response;

"Battlefield of the mind" (pg.30) I felt it would be a "preachy" kind of book, but as I read more and more it actually talks about how thoughts can influence our lives. #intro #Thoughts

"Strife?" Angry or bitter disagreement over fundamental issues; conflict. I don't know why but whenever I see that word I think of Aatrox XD. #Question #League of legends #Aatrox

My favorite quote so far "Where the mind goes, the man follows" (pg.21) #great quote #foodforthought

My Prediction is that the author will give examples of how "unhealthy" and/or "bad" thoughts affected her life. #Dark #unhealthy #bad

So can someone have a positive life and a negative mind? Do thoughts have a large influenced on how our lives go? Personally I think they do. #deepthinking #the mind #life

Unknown said...

The Lord of the Rings (227) I enjoy this book so far, I love how when you first get into it that they are alraedy going on an adventure. Very excited to read more #Intro

" We are taking the hobbits to Isenguard " The hobbits are so cute #small #comment

Tweets for reading response 1;

Tortured 4 Christ(35) was a book I had sitt'n around my bedroom and until recently just sat there. It has a powerful message to Relay! #intro

A lot of accounts of people going to great measures to get the message out, but, will it last forever?!?! #question

My favourite quote in the book is quoted from another! "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be made white as snow"(Isaiah 1:18) #comment

If it is happy now than it foreshadows something sad to appear soon. I think a whole lot of people are about to be found out! #prediction

Has anyone else read Tortured for Christ?, or something similar? Did it change you? #discussion

Salle 15 avec Mme. Ross Moore said...

"The Best of me"(32). I like how the book is written in present time along with flashbacks. Makes it more interesting! #intro

Unknown said...

Let me know how the book is! I'll read it after you if it's really good! I love unique fictions.

Unknown said...

SUCH a good book! I borrowed it from the library & bought my own copy right after. It's super interesting & the ending is so intense/crazy! Just wait for it.

Also, don't worry.. There will be clues hinting you into how they got there. I totally recommend this book, though!

Unknown said...

Reading the curse of the bambino, it’s really interesting and I am about done the first chapter

Unknown said...

I love reading Ellen Hopkins! Her books are so real and I love how they're not sugar-coated. She tells it from a realistic point of view and it can get quite disturbing, but hey, that's life right?

Unknown said...

Honestly, I didn't really like this book as much as most people.. Maybe I just wasn't in a "reading" mood. Let me know what you think! I might reread it. I found it very blah, I think.

Unknown said...

I LOVE LOVE LOOOOVE this book! It's my favourite.

Dog books are my favourite haha. You'll probably end up crying a lot, just a warning! I absolutely bawled at the end, my copy of the book is probably stained with my tears.

Unknown said...

I enjoyed this series, it was really cool! The hype from everyone was annoying, though. Let me know what you think! I love Scott's (is that the author?) writing. It's so unique and I think it's awesome that he can write from different POVs.

Unknown said...

"Valiant Modern Tale Of faerie"(35)its not bad escalades very quickly at certain points.#Intro

Why does the author switch between Val and Valerie its really confusing for an couple pages an still catches me off guard.#Confusing #Question

After catching her mom and boyfriend in the "act" Val runs away what will she do next will she start stealing will she go back and murder them i wonder.#Spoiler's #Prediction

"Anyone else's book escalate this quickly with the first chapter? #Discussion"

no sir, but i wish it did. i hate going halfway into a movie or book before anything starts to happen.

Carly Bretecher said...

"Does anyone else love reading books by Nicholas Sparks? #discuss"

Love, love, LOVE nicholas sparks!! Safe haven is one of my faves by him, and if you've seen the movie, the book is a million times better!

Unknown said...

You'll love the book! In my opinion the book is better. If you cried during the movie, oh boy... Prepare yourself for the waterworks!

Jeremy Woods said...

I think sight would be the hardest sense to live with out. I think it would be difficult to live with having to imagine everything without an actual visual.

Taryn Wichenko said...

The book is based around sad stories but it's not to say the whole book is sad. There are lots of humorous moments yet to come. That's what makes this book so good!

Unknown said...

"Divergent (99). Really interesting if you're into dystopian books w/ a conflicted main character #intro"

"?. Tris has joined the Dauntless, but how does being Divergent fit into her story?"

"I really lovr Tris's character. She is more different than anyone else which maybe is what makes her divergent #comment"

"!. I can see Tris's mother visiting her despite most in her faction seeing her switch as a betrayal #prediction"

"Has anyone read any other dystopian books? I've already read the Hunger Games and am now reading Divergent"

Carly Bretecher said...

"Does anyone else find it dificult to keep reading a book that's started slow? I'm having trouble RN. Any tips? #discuss"

I definitely understand what ya mean! Focus on the way the author writes and keep optimism as your goal! Just keep hopinh that there will be a big finish!

Unknown said...

I saw the movie and hope to soon read the book. It hasn't said but I think he has written those letters to the friend he might wish to have

Unknown said...

I love love love this book! I'm almost finished it (I'm reading it at home) I'm pretty sure the narrator is death... But I'm not 100% positive.

Unknown said...

Slow starts are the worst! I find the books i read take a long time to get going and make it difficult to stay interested. After reading your post im not sure how i feel about this book! I hope it picks up and gets better.
Let me know if your book gets interesting, maybe ill read it!
Danielle

Unknown said...

I agree with Michelle! I honestly didn't like this book as much as I thought I would! I found it super cheesy and I didn't enjoy the writing style. I love John Green but I wasn't a huge fan of this book.

Unknown said...

I read it a couple years ago, and really enjoyed it. I wonder if I'd enjoy it as much if I read it now. I've read other David Levithan books before, and they are incredibly cheesy, I think it's just his style.

Unknown said...

I haven't read this book, is it a memoir? Sounds interesting, I haven't read many Christian books. Let me know how it is! I'm in the process of reading "Mere Christianity", is it similar to your book at all?

Unknown said...

i dont think it mentions in the book. but i dont think it really matters and you will enjoy the book anyway.

Unknown said...

when i first read because of winn dixie i cried so hard. i dont know what it is but all books about animals make me really sad.

Unknown said...

I love John Green and I really wanted to read this! It seemed like a very interesting book. Keep me updated on what you think of it!

Rebecca Roger said...

"Has anybody read this book before? Were you as confused in the beginning as I am?! #discuss"

I haven't read this book before, but I have seen the movie and I can agree that it was confusing. A hard concept to wrap your mind around, but it's a good story!

Salle 15 avec Mme. Ross Moore said...

I also enjoyed how the book was written in letters! I think you'll really like this book.

Unknown said...

I could see a movie come out of this book because i love John Green's writing style!! :)he is so smart and awesome

Unknown said...

i love this book and in my opinion i think the movie is just as good, which is hard to fine often when they make a movie based on a book. i love the idea of writing letters because its so much more meaningful, but in this generation with all the technology its pretty uncommon :(

Shelby Yankoski said...

I would definitely go see a movie based off of John Green's book. I can't wait for The Fault in Our Stars to come out!

Unknown said...

If the book is titled Water4Elephants why dont they just give the elephants some water cause they must be thirsty silly :)!!

Unknown said...

"I am reading The Valley Of Horses, it has a pretty interesting story line that grabbed my attention after the first few pages! #intro"

"?.Ayla and Jondalar have very different stories, how will their stories connect later on in the novel?"

"Ayla has been my favorite character in this novel, she is a one of a kind girl. I can't wait to see what happens to her later on in the story! #comment"

"!. I could imagine that Jondalar and Ayla meet up later on in the novel. I think they might end up being mates, and falling in love with each other #prediction"

"Has anyone ever heard of the "Clan Of The Cave Bear" novels? if not you should really read them if you are interested in the early history of mankind #discussion"

Unknown said...

i read this book forever ago and i totally agree, its quite confusing! i had to reread it to understand the main concepts. even then though i was still a little confused but i loved the story!

Unknown said...

Ok so first of all i just want to say your words really spoke to me, life changing if i might say myself. and second dibsies on reading next ! :)

Unknown said...

"Do thoughts have a large influence on how how lives go" I feel that's a true statement. I think our thoughts is what control the actions we do and what we say in life.

Unknown said...

This book looks great, i just googled it. Not a bad pick (y) you really need to post the rest of your tweets ahaha

Unknown said...

Kathy, just want you to know i also cried very hard during the movie would you recommend the book to me? let me know asap :)

Madelaine Lapointe said...

I loved this book! At the beginning I was thinking the same thing as you but keep reading because it definitely gets better! Like Taryn said, this book has many parts where you'll find yourself laughing. Sam and Patrick seem a little strange at first, but you'll see how they end up changing Charlie's highschool years and impact his life greatly. Enjoy!

Unknown said...

I read a book called ``fox`s book of martyrs`` it`s a really disturbing but interesting book about a bunch of people who gave everything up for their beliefs. Really profound and intriguing.

This book is written weirdly there are chapters within the chapters.. #Comment #Weird


!- Garent says he has a photogenic memory and plays it off like its nothing, but I feel it will play into the story more and more as I read.


Hey class, have any of you read this book ? If so comment below and let me know !! :)

Sammy Cooper said...

I agree that it would be difficult to write from the point of view of the opposite gender, for the same reason it would be hard for me to write from the point of view of an astronaut for example; without the experience of being in their position I could never really know exactly what it would be like.

selena said...

I love Scott Westerfeld`s books! He always manages to get you to rethink your worldview through the different societies he writes about.

Casey raback said...

Insurgent is a much better book to read don't read the hunger games unless your a twilight fan as well shorter version is it's a love story. I don't like it. but if you do it is your opinion.

Reading Season Of The Machete (27) I enjoy thriller/mystery books. #fav #intro



Why did the character Cuban kill these innocent American newcomers? I think there's a story behind it. #question


Favourite quote so far " What they can't quite see is that Damian Rose is smiling in triumph." (5) #comment


I predict that it is going to take the investigators a while to find Damian Rose. #prediction


Has anyone else ever read a thriller/mystery book? I think Christopher Pike is my absolute favourite. #discuss

if you like dystopian novels you should really read 'matched' by Allie Condie , it's beyond interesting . A complete different way of life .

Unknown said...

I really despised the Outsiders because I never really understood the true meaning or leason. I also think that the author could have described things clearer.

The Hate List (64)I'm going to cry because its so sad

? Valerie was going back to her and Nick's relationships. How come she was talking about how things used to be before he killed himself.

Valerie shouldn't feel so scared to go back even thou people think it's all her fault that Nick killed a handful of people.

That Valerie is gonna switch schools because she cannot take the hate anymore.

People you should read this book if you are interested in school shootings #school #shooting

Is exercise considered a "healthy" addiction?

Unknown said...

Exercise can be an addiction because if you get to the point where you are working out everyday and only eating certain foods like vegetables that's not gonna be healthy. You need to have a little bit of weight on your bones just in case you get sick.

My Friend Leonard(51) Perfect book so far

Does Lilly and James stay together by the end?

I like how Leonoard and James met, it was like they were meant to be friends

I think Leonard is going to be the reason for James staying sober and more importantly alive. #friendship

If intesity is your forte while reading, this book is amazing.

Justice,

I've heard lots of great things about the "Clan of The Cave Bear" novels, and they've been on my "to read" list for a while. . . Might start them now as I am between books, thanks for the reccomendation!

Unknown said...

It really is a good book! But you gotta watch what your reading because it changes between two things

Emily Pedreira said...

the book thief is probably one of my favourite books, and of course I know the narrator but I can't tell you because the book is 10x better not knowing! Also I have to admit, I definitely cried at some point, so just a heads up, the tears may be coming!!

Emily Pedreira said...

i started reading this book last summer, and definitely was a bit confused as well, unfortunately that turned me off of the book and i never finished reading it. i hope you have better luck!

Emily Pedreira said...

i never actually read the giver, but i have read gathering blue & the messenger multiple times! they are both on the list of my favourite books and i completely recommend them :)

Emily Pedreira said...

i would also recommend matched, as well as the maze runner! i just started the chemical garden trilogy and it's pretty interesting too! hope these suggestions can help :)

The Notebook! (20) Fianlly reading Nicholas Sparks! Love how there is more emotion in the book! #Intro #MoreEmotion

?- Why is the carnival scene in the book so different than the movie? I'm guessing for more romance! #Question #MoreRomance

Fave quote so far: "though you may call me a dreamer or a fool or any other thing, I believe that anything is possible" (5) #Comment #Quote

!- I have a feeling there will be many more differences between the book and movie! #Prediction #Differences

Who else has read the book and has seen the movie? Which did you prefer and why? #Discuss #BookOrMovie

Unknown said...

I totally agree! I feel that when an author writes from the opposite sex POV it really shows the authors creativity and talent for writing for the audience!

I chose the book tweak(20) and so far it's pretty dark, I knew the book was about meth abuse but I didn't know how vivid it would be #intro


I think that Lauren is going to die of an over dose and that her death will only push nic further into his relapse #prediction


I was wondering Y Lauren's parents would give her so much freedom knowing she's a recovering addict, it seemed very easy for her to relapse #question


There was a point in the book I really liked where nic was talking about how addicts attract to each other, it was a cool concept #comment


If find it kind of pretty unsettling trying to get into the mind of some one who abuses crystal meth, anyone else #discuss

Unknown said...

Looking for Alaska(17) It always takes me a while to get into books, but I am sure I will love it because its #johngreen #intro

(?) What is this “Great Perhaps” Miles is wanting to find? Is that really why he is leaving or did something happen? #question

Miles will never find “The Great Perhaps” sitting in his dorm room alone dreaming of things that may happen and people he may meet #comment

(!) Chip, Miles’ room mate seems to be outgoing, maybe he will get Miles out and they will set out to fine there “G.P” together #prediction

The first #johngreen book I read was The Fault in our Stars and loved it! Has anyone else read it? What did you think? #discussion

Unknown said...

i have never read the book though i did see the movie. i agree that the story line is quite confusing but hopefully it eventually sorts it all out for you! it was a great movie, i wonder whats better though, movie or book? usually its the book so im sure you wont be disappointed!

Unknown said...

Tex(43).I kinda liked reading this book because I don't have an interest on reading novels but I'll enjoy it!! #intro

I wonder why the main characters are so tough like really they're really young? #questions

I'm kinda confused of the story because I don't know what are they talking about but i'll understand it #comment

I think that the main characters problems will be solved#prediction

The 2nd book that I read from S.E Hilton since the Outsiders.I would say this book is okay to read. #discuss

My tweets:

“Reading Divergent (27) takes place in the future which I love – had a slow first couple of pages though, but it’s starting to pick up #intro”

“? – What does Beatrice find so bad about being part of Abnegation? That’s the faction the rest of her family is in and she wants to leave them #curious #question”

“Whoever made up these names for the factions, I am liking them – Abnegation, Candor, Erudite, Amity and Dauntless – cool or what?! Still waiting to figure out what all of them represent #interesting #comment”

“! – I think the boy who totally shoved Beatrice over is going to be appearing in the book later on and getting what he deserves #karma #prediction”

“Has anyone else read this book? Liked it? The more and more I read the more suspenseful it gets! #opinions #discuss”

Unknown said...

Yay! I'm happy to hear you like the book so far, since I'm reading the first one, I'm looking forward to reading this one as well! Do you think this one is better or the first one so far?

Unknown said...

I haven't read the book but I really want to! I saw the movie and just loved it! I'm hoping the book is just as good, if not better! Though, it's hard to imagine it being a book, since the movie had me confused at times as well! Hope it's going good!

"Do thoughts have a large influenced on how our lives go?"
I agree with Taila, I think if we're thinking about something, then we are probably going to lean towards doing that thing.
