As a thoughtful reader, we must always look for connections. Today you are going to be the connector. Your job is to connect the day's reading to another book or story you have read. You will also connect the reading to a current event, historical event, or something we are studying in any subject area. It is also okay to connect it to your own life. Just make sure you have at least 2 connections. Don't forget to respond to someone else. :)

I can connect the great brain to my life by me selling popsicles at my nana's house for 1$ when it was free for me and I did not get caught.I can also relate this story to another book by, this boy being in high school and he didn't have any money so he stole from a store and he sold snacks at school for 5$ and made 20$ a day.
ReplyDeleteHello Tyler, that was a great relationship between life and your book, The Great Brain.
DeleteThanks Triston so was yours.
DeleteHi Tyler,I like your paragraph
DeleteThanks Philo
DeleteHi, I like your blog, but could you please tell us what in your book you are relating this to?
DeleteKatie
That was a great connection between your 2 books.Also I like how you added details.
DeleteThat was a great connection between your 2 books.Also I like how you added details.
DeleteTyler that was a funny book you compared with!
DeleteHi Tyler I like how you connected the book with your life.Could you tell me what the name of the book that you connected to the Great Brain is,it sounds very interesting.
DeleteThe back of book,Freedom Crossing, is related to when Rosa Parks built the Underground Railroad.Because Rosa Parks and the characters in our book both planned to bring the slaves north to Canada,even if it meant braking the law.
ReplyDeletewhat is you're 2 connection.
DeleteHello, I would also like to know what your 2nd connection is, but I like you first one.
DeleteMy book is How to Eat Fried Worms and my first connection is that I read a book called Big Nate and one of Nate's friends is named Teddy and he is disgusting like the main character Billy.My second connection is that one time my sister dared me to lick the kitchen wall and Billy's friend Alan dared him to eat worms.
ReplyDeletei like you're life connecten
Deletealso did you do it
the dare
Cohen, I like how you related your book to two things. Which are a book you've read and real life.
DeleteI did do the dare,but the wall didn't taste that bad.
DeleteThats funny I like your blog.
DeleteMy book is How To Eat A Fried worm.A connection to my book is Life.I say life because Billy made a bet with his friend that his friends will give him 50 dollars if Billy eats 15 worms.Its is compared to my life because I do bets with my friends and brothers too.One time my friend told me if I lick a wall He will give me 1 dollar.He told me to do it because the wall was rusty.My second connection is the book Frindle.I pick the book Frindle because Nick was brave like Billy.Nick was brave like Billy because Nick wasn't scared of anything and Billy wasn't too because Billy ate 15 worms and he was not scared and was a man.
ReplyDeleteHi,Philo that was a great compare between the book and your life!
DeleteIn my book The Great Brain I have two things to connect it to. One John wants to catch the mumps because his brothers always catch a disease first, their mom makes them get the two that do not have the disease get infected, and by the time they get infected the one who had the disease first is better. So John wants to get a disease first, which makes me think of my mom because when she was growing up it was {and still is} extremely rare to get the chicken pox twice so when someone got it everyone went to their house to get it. Second the book takes place when indoor toilets were very rare and their father orders one, so they are the first people in town to have one.
ReplyDeletefreedom crossing {I can connect to my book freedom crossing in history from 1947 -1991 the cold is what this book is about.}{I can also be reltable by song the song is named after the book Freedom Crossing it is about a path that slaves uesd to get to the north}
ReplyDeleteIn my book today i can relate it to another book and that book i am going to relate to is The Tiger Rising.I can relate it because a girl asked the character Rob to open the tiger cage and let the tiger out.And in the book that i am reading now the character Alan dared Billy to eat 15 worms for 50 bucks.I can also relate this book in my life because once my sister dared me to eat 5 broccolis for a can of sprite and i hate broccoli.
ReplyDeleteKero you have great sentences,good job.
DeleteMy book is the great brain,and one of the things I connect to in the story(in real life)is that one of the characters is sick,one of my grandparents is sick as well.The second connection I have is that J.D sneaks around a lot and I have a five year old brother that sneaks around a lot as well.
ReplyDeleteI think that what you said has good punctuation and grammar,but I would put a little more detail. But other than that it is very good.
Deletefudge looks related to my because my brother like money and not nice and not great full.
ReplyDeleteC.j. you have pretty good spelling.
DeleteHello that was a really good connection. Is there anything else that you can connect to.In my book there was a lot of things to connect to. :)
DeleteThe book i'm reading is called How to Eat Fried Worms.My connection to this book is from my life because, my sister also dared me to do something, she dared me to lick my dog, and i did. And Billy got dared from his friend to eat 15 worms.Also my other connection that relates to this book is from another book I have read. It's called Odette's Secrets Its about a girl who is in a tough time because shes a jew and right now its bad to be a jew because of the nazi's so she has to be brave, just like Billy is being brave because he could have chickened out so he wouldn't have to eat the worms. But he didn't and ate the worms.
ReplyDeleteHi,Elle I like your connection to your life. Also How to Eat Fried Worms is a great book. How many worms has Billy ate? Do you think he can eat all 15 worms?
DeleteOur book is The Knight at Dawn I can connect it to the place medievil times because knights ride horses and pick up people and in our book there is knights that pick up people.My second connection is when I read this book and it had knights fighting kninghts on horses back.
ReplyDeleteI like your first connection, it is funny [the bit about picking people up], but what is your second connection? You told me what your book said but not your connection.
DeleteBrooklyn,can you tell me more about The Night Of Dawn
DeleteIn my book Poppy my connection to my life is when Poppy was scared because I get scared sometimes to.My second connection is to my other book i'm reading called Platypus Police Squad because they're both going to find someone.
ReplyDeleteHi Gabriel,I want to know about the book Poppy what happended
DeleteMy book is The Knight at Dawn,how I can relate this story to my life is that in the book Annie wants to go to the tree house and i always go in my tree house. How I can relate this to history is in the book Annie and Jack go into a castle mid- evil times with the knight and the king.
ReplyDeletejustice you have fantastic spelling.
DeleteAre you talking about Magic Tree House? I love the series.
DeleteYes,Cecilia i love the series to.
DeleteOne part in my book is when fudge met melissa,this reminded me of the lightning thief when percy met sicelea.
ReplyDeleteIn our book we have two main character is Poppy and Mr.Ocax.Poppy is a brown and white mouse that is very shy.She is not very happy in this chapter because her best friend had just died in the first chapter.Poppy's nose had gotten scratched after Mr.Ocax was trying to eat her.Even though Poppy is very scared and confused now,I am sure she will find her way.the last main character in the book is Mr.Ocax. Mr.Ocax is a very tricky character in this book.He is a big bird with white and black feathers.He is very slick because he tricks the mice saying,"If you let me be your ruler I will protect you from danger." But he really wants to eat them when they are not expecting it. But hopefully at the end the horned owl Mr.Ocax and the deer mouse Poppy will become friend at the end of the book.
ReplyDeleteIn my book Poppy my connection to my life is when Poppy was scared because I get scared sometimes to.My second connection is to my other book i'm reading called Platypus Police Squad because they're both going to find someone.
ReplyDeleteIn our book Poppy, I made a connection with Poppy and Poppy's mother.I made the connection because Poppy's mother said "Above all, do exactly what your father tells you to do." and it reminds me of my mom telling me to listen to your elders.My second connection is how Lungwort said "If Ragweed's death can be a lesson to the rest of the family..." reminds me how all of my teachers told me to learn from other's mistakes and your own mistakes.

ReplyDeleteI am going to connect The Great Brain to the Gabby Douglas movie and also to history.The way I am going to connect this to history is Papa buying the first flush toilet.The way I will connect this to a movie is the two main characters both used their talents like Gabby Douglas used her gymnastics talent and the Great Brain use his smartness.Those are the two ways I connected the Great Brain to something else.
ReplyDeleteI am connecting the book Poppy with my life.The book Poppy reminds me of the time when I was little.My mom read the book to my sister and I. We would try to make a story like that and act it out.It also reminds me of a book that I read sadly I forgot what it's called.
ReplyDeleteHi Cecilia you did a good job with your post, but what about your other book makes them similar?
DeleteThankyou,but I didn't understand your question ?
Deletemy phase from my book is"Fudge you are not allowed to run in the lobby",to when me and my fammly go to hotel my brother runs and plays but shes yells at hem to come and stop.
