Reading Is Awful

Ghost Stories of Saskatchewan (Uncle Ben’s House, An Unseen Playmate, Old Faithful: The Tabor Light)

Answer the following questions:

Which reading did you enjoy best (teacher read, classmates read, read to self)? Why?
I enjoyed when the teacher read because I hate reading and because he put emphasis in when he talked and I can understand what going on in the story better.
What strategies do you think would help to get more out of the reading methods you didn’t enjoy (ie: classmates read)
I hate when classmates read because some can't read as good and its hard to follow along when there reading. Somethings to help me when there reading is read along with the person so I undersrtand whats going on.


Complete the following:

For each story:
Attempt to explain the phenomenon through scientific and/or logic reasoning.
Old Faithful: The Tabor Light- A perfect explanation for the tabor light in this story could have been that it was some guy being dumb and carrying a light around with him all the time when people are coming by to scare them.
An Unseen Playmate- It could have been the wind that was moving that swing they could have lied about there not being any wind and the wind could have been getting worse so the swing was going higher then it died down so the swing came to a stop.
Ben House- The girl Darcy could have been in the room from before and doing the noises. The cats behaviour doesnt really matter because cats can act any way they want to and maybe they were havin ga bad day.

One day I was going for my evening stroll because I like to go for runs everyday to keep in amazing shape. So i was going on my stroll minding my own business listening to my ipod. The sun was shining, the birds were tweeting. Thats the magic of dsney. Everything was going good until I saw the cemetary a little mile away. I stopped to take a look at the cemetary and got a bad feeling about passing it but i went on anyways. When I was just about to pass it everything was alright but when I was half way through something strange had appeared directly in front of me, approximately 10 feet away.It was just floating in mid air and was redish pink coloured. It flew past me and was now behind me. I looked back and it was just floating there so I started to run and not your average jog im talking started running as fast as I possibly could. When I looked back again it was floating towards me as I ran so I started to go faster. By the time I was at the end of the cemetary the mysterious thing had dissapeared. After that I got a friend to come pick me up so i wouldnt have to pass the cemetary again.
