Mrs. Holderith's 6th Grade Language Arts students are working on a new and improved independent reading program!
===We're using this wiki to record our personal responses to the following questions, reflecting our discussions and understanding of our independent readings. ===
 * ===Together we learned about the "Hero's Journey", as portrayed, in Maniac Magee and found out that the same Hero's Journey story elements appear in many other stories. ===
 * ===We learned how good readers choose books and how to be an active readers by using sticky notes to record our thoughts while we read. ===
 * ===We discussed the reading process; sharing when, where and how we read. ===
 * ===We discussed our books "book club" style, and were surprised that many of our books shared similar story elements. ===

===1. Do the characters in your book seem real and believable? Can you relate to the trials of one specific character? Describe how he or she reminds you of yourself or someone you know. ===

===5. Explain one of the conflicts the protagonist of your book encounters. Would you have handled things differently than the protagonist? Describe your alternate solution to the conflict. ===
