  2. My favorite reading activity was the time machine blog. I like fictional stories. My favorite writing activity writing my feature article. Personally, I thought it was an interesting topic that many people would care about. However, I didn't like writing and reading blogs every day. I think we should be able to read an actual book on some days next year. I think think that they were better than doing long projects. You get bored if you work on something too long. -PM

  3. My favorite reading activity was A letter from the Fringe because it was so inspiring. My favorite writing activity was making feature articles because I could put my own spice to it and enjoy it. We should drop the field trip to Mystic Arts Center but we should add an activity to Brownstone Park. Well, I'd rather triple day activities because it funner and you would be more interested.

  4. My favorite reading activity was the story with the time machine called Same Time Next Year. I liked this because it was different. My favorite writing activity was the feature article because we could write about whatever we wanted to. I compared Kobe Bryant, Lebron James, and MJ to see who was the best.
    I think next year we should write a short story because it is fun and teaches creativity. I found that doing single day activities was better than long projects because I felt less pressured to finish and not worried on my vacation that I was going to be far behind.

  5. My favorite reading activity was when we were seperated into small groups and we read to each other. The story was about bullying kids. My favorite writing activity was the interview when we interview the other kids. I think that we should do more reading and drop some tests. I think that the shorter activities were more interesting because we get to do more things than long term projects.

  6. My favorite reading activity we did was reading the diabetes interview. It was interesting to learn about how she deals with her diabetes situation. My favorite writing activity was writing those letters. It was fun cause we got to make up a situation and someone responded to them. I think that next year we should do long activities that are funner because single day activities are kind of confusing.- Anandah
