KBARR Review.

KBARR Rubric:

• Can tell you’ve read
• Specific/uses examples
• Shows thinking
• Little Summarization
• Effort

Sample responses.

• I predict that when they went to there grandparents house in the woods that they will sneak out and get lost and have to find there way back. I also predict that there grandparents aren’t who they think they are. What I was thinking when I was reading was that them going to the middle of the woods with out their parents is a little sketchy.
• I wish that Hana would just eat food. I know that she thinks not eating anything over 200  calories a day but not eating is making her ill. She fainted in the middle of a store when all she was doing was standing next to the front waiting for the whitish lady to bring her the herbs she wanted. I know that the author is just trying to spice up the story by making a girl that over works her body and wot eat to try to become better at ice skating but I really do hate seeing people do that kind of stuff to there body. I really do hope the Hana uses that faint as a wakeup call to get her to start taking better care of her body and not over exerting herself while ice skating.
•  My book is all about urban farming which I can some what relate to because I come from a lot of farmers and my family has a garden of our own. I think anyone who loves gardening or farming and the hardships that farming involves will enjoy this book. I love the book but one thing that has me wondering is why did they choose to move too a ghetto part of Oakland where lots of violence and drugs occur? Especially if they want to be farmers why would they choose there? Another problem in the story is that they want to build a condo on the lot she is planting on but I predict that the condo is never going to get built because the start of construction is already past due date and because there are so many empty lots where people planned to build but never got to it.
