No, it's not homework because the grade 6's can't bring home the textbooks.

In the Hunger Games I was trying to make a visual picture on every new topic. Like when they were describing what Katniss wore so they could get more sponsors. Making visual pictures helps me because it adds some pretty cool pics when descriptive words are used.

I used the visualization skill when I read the book "The Peculiar" I used the visualization skill to help me visualize when the character climbed up the chimney and into a little tucked away corner, he then looked out the little round window at the person in the house next door.

I used visualization in my reading while I was reading the book wonder and I tried to picture what the character looked like and the expression they had on their face in every situation they were talking about and it was much easier to visualize when they used descriptive language. A part I could really get a strong image was the part where they were describing August's face and how it was deformed and I got a strong image of August.

I use visualization when I read my book Alex Rider. I visualize to help me understand what I am reading better. Determining what is important helps because when you pick up a book you can use clues like the title to help you get an idea of what you are about to read.

I used visualization when I was reading the book the Island of the Blue Dolphins because when she is in the wild and she has to make all these colorful things like her tusk dress I could make a picture in my mind of that dress! :)

I used visualization when I was reading the book: "Box of Shocks". I visualized the beginning when Oliver, the main character, digs up a box in his basement. I could see him scooping up the dirt with his shovel. Visualization helps me when I read to create a picture in my mind that helps me understand what I'm reading better.

I used visualization when I read "Horten's Miraculous Mechanisms" to visualize each character and where they live. When he described how dirty a telephone booth was it made me visualize it.

I used visualization to further understand the ontent in the text of the book Allegiant to picture them running through the streets and raising their guns. And determining what's important helps me keep it in mind so if anything related toit happends, I can add to the main idea.

I am reading Lost On The Amazon. I used visualization when they said that the guy was sitting by a river where if he went in he would have to face piranhas, alligators, poisonous snakes and deadly electric eels. Visualization helps me because then I understand the story better. Determining whats important is important because if you don't know whats important in the story then whats the point in reading the book because there is no importants to it. So then there is no point in the story.

I used visualization when they said a guy was sitting by the river and if he went in he would have to face piranhas, alligators, poisonous snakes and deadly electric eels. Visualization helps me because I understand the story better and keeps me involved in the story since it is more interesting. A part in the story where I practised I determining what is important was when the guy went off with Owaduga to save his friends from the Michawa tribe. This is important because it is the main idea that sets up the entire story. If he doesn’t find his friends then he cannot continue on his mission. Determining what is important helps me because it is a way of checking for understanding.
