Week 4 Term 1: Sticks & Stones

Hey hey hey! Welcome back to my blog! This week, we've been reading this book called Sticks and Stones! It's about this girl in middle school named Elyse, who has this mysterious disease called CAV where all the words people say to describe her are imprinted on her skin!

Here is a small dose of my work.

"Journal: Sticks & Stones

Chapters 1 - 3 (25/2/20)
“Some people don’t think that one word can make a difference” In my opinion, this phrase is true. One singular word can make such a difference in someone’s life. Say, someone asked for the condition of their dog while they’re at the vet, and the vet says “Gone.” This one word can bring so much dread.

For example, recently, my brother left for University. It was very emotional, but it only really sank in when he said “Bye” as he was driving away. This was very emotional for me and my mum."

For this activity,we had to write a journal entry about how one word changed our lives. This is mine!


And this activity is about how the words imprint on her skin, where we had to write down words that were prevalent in the story! Thanks for coming along, and I'll see you next week!
