Book Report on Beyonders Series

Image
   The Beyonders Trilogy was written by Brandon Mull. The story is about Jason and Rachel’s quest to overthrow the evil emperor Maldor in Lyrian, another world .On their journey they meet many other people who become part of the story on the next books.

Book Report on Oliver Twist

In the book, in London 1830, boys without parents  went to orphanages until they were 9 years old or above. When they left the orphanages they  probably went to workhouses.

In 1830 there probably more poor people than rich ones.            The main character is Oliver Twist. He is a nice little boy who is often mistreated. He  isn't selfish or rude. He is a humble boy who is very easy to please. He has many friends. ...

Journal 10-15-2014

What we did today        We started home school by making a schedule . Then Cassie and I did mental math while Thea did her PACEs. Cassie learned squaring numbers that begin with nine. I used strategies I learned four days ago for the general revision. Thea finished 5 PACEs today. Then Cassie read handwriting books to improve her handwriting while I memorized the fifth stanza of The Raven. After that Cassie read science books. Then I practiced hand writing while Cassie read Les Miserables. Cassie reached volume four of Les Miserables. Next I read Oliver Twist and Cassie practiced handwriting again and Thea did mental math. Then Thea read Little Women. It was a long and busy day.
