No Talking
Do you talk a lot? Could you spend two whole days without talking? I would not spend two whole days without talking if I could chose, but if I had to spend two whole day without talking I could probably just make it. I think it would be hard not to talk for two days because talking is the main way we communicate. If I have a question I say it out loud. If I want to tell my friend something I say it to them. We don't write notes to tell our friends something, we talk. No Talking is a book about 5th graders that can't stop talking. Yada yada yada, all day long. Then a contest starts. The contest is to see who can say the least number of words, the boys or the girls? Who do YOU think will win?

I'm happy that you are enjoying this book. I thought it was funny, and enlightening, when you all were given a "word diet" last Thursday during library! Maybe we should do that again, tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteNice post Emi! I loved how you ended it! "Who do YOU think will win?" Great way to end your post!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Zoe, Emi. really good post. I always found Andrew Clements to be a good author. I read a really good book by him called "the Holiday Concert" or something like that. What would you rate "No talking"?
