The Unwanteds

A fantasy of art and magic outside the gray, gloomy walls of Quill.
Unwanteds is a fascinating and suspenseful book. Everybody has to escape death more than once. Death comes with the mutter of the mouth or flick of a wrist. "Quill prevails while the strong survive" until Artame and Quill find peace.
Chloe

This book is full of magic and fantasy! 6.5/10

Llama Drama - In it to win it

Book read: Llama Drama

The book is about llamas competing  between themselves. It is OK but I would rate it a 6 out of 10 because I expected it to be funnier. Also there wasn't enough action for me.

I enjoyed the parts with the two bad guys named Bolt & Dolt.

Dixon's Readers Choice!

We just started yesterday and already I have a review! Well done Filip in Div.3
For other students who want more chances to win some books and to have their voices heard, please send me your reviews at kborthwick@sd38.bc.ca

Happy reading!

The voting will begin at the end of April, so there is lots of time to read all the books....

Readers Choice

Readers Choice is a new club that we are going to try out this winter.  It is a way for the Dixon students to have their voice be heard about which book is their favourite.  There will be 4 French novel titles and 6 English novel titles and there will be 5 copies of each text.  The students can read as many as they can and vote the week before spring break.  To earn more votes and a chance to win some of the leftover books, students can hand in a short review of the book, that I will be posting on the bulletin board outside the library.  This is not a mandatory club, we will meet once and then it is the responsibility of the student to come and exchange for a different title.  I hope we have a good turnout and I look forward in seeing which book becomes Dixon's Choice 2014!

Happy Reading!

DART Assessments

Hi again,
I just wanted to let everyone know that there will be no library exchanges or visits this coming week. I will be helping with DART which is our District Reading Assessment. DART helps teachers decide which reading techniques need to be focused on in the classroom. I also incorporate some important reading strategies in Library lessons as well. For example, this past month we have been working on making connections to ourselves, to other stories and to the world, while reading specific texts or stories. As always, if there are any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Ms. Borthwick
