This term we have been reading Louis Sachar's book - Holes.
We had a sneak peak at the movie trailer too to see if how we had imagined the characters were how they looked in the movie - definitely some differences.
Here is a link to a site with some behind-the-scene photo's and the movie trailer.
How have you liked the book so far Room 22? Would you recommend it to our blog visitors?
Any suggestions for books to read as a class next term? Post your ideas in the comment section.
Mrs O's top tip: Always read the book first before seeing the movie! When reading you naturally build up mental imagery of how the characters/scenery look, sound and act. Once you see the movie you will only be able to see the actors in that role - you cheat your mind of the chance to build your own imagery. And anyway the book is ALWAYS better!
The book was awesome and interesting
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness Room 22, we've been reading Holes too. Have you finished it now? We still have a few activities to finish and 1 or 2 people to complete the actual novel reading. Some of us are reading the Stanley's Guide to Camp Green Lake book.
ReplyDeleteWe agree that reading the novel before watching the movie is always best (although this is a pretty cool movie). What was your favourite things you did to help you learn more about the novel? We've also read Conrad Coopers Last Stand (Leonie Agnew) and Night Vision (Ella West) and they're both really good novels. You also can't beat Under the Mountain (Maurice Gee).
