I began to read this book because of all the recommendations I have received on it. My friends, my sister, and my mother had all loved the book and the author so I decided to give it a try. By choosing this book, it gives others a sense of who I am as a reader, in showing others that I like to relate to the stories I read. In My Sister’s Keeper, I can relate to Anna’s love and hate for her sister. My sister and I don’t get along too well most of the time and occasionally an “I hate you!” comes out of one of our mouths, but when it comes down to it, the love in our hearts, no matter how deep, can always keep us together.

Throughout primary School and high school my love of reading and writing grew and so, did the number of books and also my ability to pronounce and understand English. Before I knew it, I had been acing all the sorts of verbal and written work presented to me, by my teachers because for me, it was more of curiosity and interest rather
When we watch the videos the teachers were thinking out loud and discussing the little voice in her head that tells her things while she is reading, like “oh I have no idea what I just read” or “hum I wonder who this person is?” or “wow that’s neat!”. The students were able to connect with her and start thinking about reading and listening to the voice inside their head they then wrote or discussed with a peer what they thought about the reading passage. A literacy activity I could do in my classroom would be a think aloud. I could explain exactly what I am thinking while reading a passage, then have the students read another passage and practice talking about what they read and where thinking to a peer. I could also incorporate highlighters or underlining strategies to incorporate note taking and thinking while reading into this lesson.
How to Activate Prior Knowledge Prior knowledge refers to all of the readers’ experience throughout their lives, including all of information they have learned elsewhere. This knowledge is one of the reading strategies which are very effective for being used in reading comprehension. Furthermore prior knowledge is the most important aspect of the reading experience because it will help students in understanding and remembering what have students read by activating their background knowledge. There are three steps in activating prior knowledge those are pre teaching vocabulary, providing background knowledge and creating opportunities for students to continue building background knowledge. The first step is pre teaching vocabulary in which teacher needs to introduce and review new vocabularies that relate to stories or information they are going to read.
Torell Wallace Writing is an important, almost vital, part of everyday living. In this paragraph I am going to discuss the importance of writing academically and professionally. Academically writing is vital. As a student writing helps you produce facts, statements, and opinions without getting confused and without confusing your reader or audience.

School teachers usually spend plenty of time using course books in their classes from around the world. Therefore, choosing or selecting a suitable text book for a specific class has been a dispensable matter for evaluators or text book designers. The authors describe the vital role of using text books in the classrooms when teaching English as well. Likewise this process of selecting the right text book for the right class will be well-organized and more trustworthy by the teachers, and thus they can
Growing up as a child, I would always depend on writing as a getaway from society. I would write whatever came to my imagination and bought it to life with just a paper and an ink pen. Writing was a tool that was very beneficial to me during my teenage years and even now in my adult years. I have had some experiences that were both good and bad when it came to writing, but nonetheless, writing became my forte in my English courses. The feeling that I have when writing is a very joyous one because it is my nonverbal communication to express my emotions and thoughts without the critism of the outside world.
