Reading this week

This week, I read the 17 pages in the Norton Field guide that we had to read, and my outside reading book. The pages in the norton book gave me information on how to do certain things that I will need to do for our up coming paper. I learned how to paraphrase, summarize, and quote correctly. I also learned how not to plagerize, because that is a very serious matter that should not be taken as a joke. If you plagerize, you can get in a lot of trouble not only by the school, but it is also illegal. So now that I have read and taken notes on those pages, I should be able to write my research paper without problems of cheating.

I also continued reading my outside reading book called "It's not Summer Without you." so far it is an AMAZING book! I absolutely love it. It is about a girl named Belly (her real name is Isabella) who goes to a summer house with her family and another family for the whole summer every year. But this year would be different because the boy of the other family named Conrad's mother got sick. So her two boys, Jeremiah and Conrad don't really care about anything and the summer is tunring out to be terrible. This is also the last summer that they will spend in this house again, which makes matters worse. But anyways I really can't wait to see how this book ends because I love it.
