The other day I finished reading Inkheart aloud to my class, and was ready to begin a new book. I wanted to read them the book called Alabama Moon, which I had bought because of the intriguing title. I read it to myself first, and thought it was a terrific book. So, to peak my kids' interest in the book, I built it up. I began by talking about the old addage: Don't judge a book by it's cover. We discussed the meaning of that saying, and I followed that up with the fact that not only do I judge books by their cover, but also by their unique titles, which was why I bought the book Alabama Moon. I then began to read the first couple of chapters, and when I finished, the kids actually applauded.
Anyway, soon it was time to go to pe. As the kids were lining up, I noticed that Nhu was wearing her favorite shirt with the saying that she didn't understand. As she went out the door, she said, "Look, Mrs. Teacher!"
I said, "I noticed that you are wearing your favorite shirt that you metioned in your last essay."
And she replied, "Yes, and now I understand what it means!" She was so happy.
