This semester our teacher set us a challenge to read eight different genres, in 14 weeks. The genres we had to read were:
- Mystery (The Case of the Missing Marquess by Nancy Springer)
- Historical Fiction (Summer of the Monkeys by Wilson Rawls)
- Non-Fiction (Exploring the Ocean Depts by Peter Jedicke)
- Biography (Michelle Kwan Quest for Gold by Mark Stewart and Mike Kennedy)
- Science Fiction/Graphic Novel (Percy Jackson Graphic Novel by Rick Riordan)
- Fantasy (The Anybodies by N.E. Bode)
- Realistic Fiction (The Steps by Rachel Cohn)
- Action/Adventure (Escaping the Giant Wave by Peg Kehret)
I completed the challenge the day before the due date, and to celebrate we ate as much pizza as humanly possible. I ate 3 slices of pizza, and to measure up the unhealthiness, I ate a grape. The genre I enjoyed the most was Historical Fiction because I read an interesting book, and I like to compare and contrast my life, and the life in the 1800's.
The genre that I did not enjoy was Non-Fiction because I don't like how there aren't fun stories.
A genre I discovered I like is Mystery, because they are really intense, and interesting.
Next semester we are going to do Genre Pie, and my advice to myself is to send an email to Ms. H instead of a conference, because you may not have time to do a conference (by speaking).
