Visualizing

We learned about different ways to visualize this week. Sometimes we see "still pictures" as we read. Other times we are able to see the book like a "movie" and that helps us gain a deeper understanding of what we read. An even deeper level of understanding comes when we feel like we are in the story.

Share what you are reading. Tell how and what you are visualizing.

  5. I am reading "zoom broom" at school. I am visualizing a movie in my head. I imagine the witch laying in her bed putting her feet to the warm fire. I imagine it feeling nice and warm on my feet. I would feel nice fuzzy inside. I am also visualizing her not being able to find a place to get a new broom and looking angry and frustrated. Finally, she finds a broom at Foxy's shop and I see a brown and grayish broom. I enjoyed the book.

  9. I am reading a book called Captain Underpants and the Invasion of the Incredibly Naughty Cafeteria Ladies From Outer Space. I am visualizing Captain Underpants snapping his fingers and getting mad at George and Harrold. I am also visualizing George and Harrold pouring cold water on Mr. Krupp. I can imagine how cold it was to have water poured on your head.

  10. I am reading a book called Fashion Kitty. I visualize it like a movie because it goes on and on and on until the end of the book just like a movie, because a movie goes on and on and on until the end of the movie. But some times I visualize it like still pictures if it doesn't have enough details in the book.

    The title of the book: Guinea Dog

    Characters of the book (chapter):
    - Name Rufus
    - Name Mom
    - Name Murph
    - Miss.Charp

    What is the book about:
    The book is about a boy named Rufus, the main character and he wanted a dog but instead he got a Guinea pig. Something weird happened and the Guinea pig started to act like a Dog. The Guinea pig started eating foods that dogs eat like meat instead of lettuce and vegetables. It started to chase cats and eat bones. It did things that dogs do so I guess Rufus got his wish after all. I want to keep reading to see how it all ends.
