Decisions, decisions....

Sometimes when we read, we form opinions about whether what the character did was right or wrong. In chapter 2 in Justin and the Best Biscuits in the World, Justin has some problems he has to face. Do you think that he handled the problem in a good or bad way? Explain, in detail, your thinking. Use examples from the book to support your ideas.

When you read a story that really interests you, you have made some sort of connection to the book. Maybe one of the characters reminds you of yourself or someone you know! Maybe the main character is struggling with the same problem you are dealing with in your real life! Making connections to books is very important. It shows you are really understanding what you are reading. Think about the first chapter that you read yesterday in Justin and the Best Biscuits in the World. What connection did you make in the chapter? Explain to me what your connection was and how it is important to you. Explain why it makes you want to read more.
