Monkey Boy-Novel Study

Today for reading we were given a list, a list filled with different activities to choose from, this was not just any reading activity task. It was a Novel Study task, so last week we went to our school library and choose a chapter book so we could do the "Novel Study".

Here's the screenshot of the activities we had to do for the Novel Study...

There are more activities than this photo, there are sixteen activities to choose from and we could do it from anyway. What I mean from anyway is that I don't have to do it in a row, I can do it by starting the bottom activity or the top activity. We have to finish at least one activity each time we have reading and make a blog post about our progress in our Novel study.

So the book I chose for my novel study is called Monkey Boy by Donovan Bixley, it's about a boy named Jimmy Grimholt, he leaves the family life and starts his journey on a boat named HMS Fury. He sails with his crew and on aboard with him was idlers, freaks and bullies.

He was always forced to eat disgusting food. His main job was to bring gunpowder to the cannon, he was known as the powder monkey. Anyways here's the link to the Monkey boy information if you want to read it.

Ok now the activity I finished today was the activity at the end of my screenshot and I finished it and also proud with it at the same time. I forgot to mention before that in the screenshot, you might have not realized that at the start of the activities it says Learn, Create, Share. Now, this is the main reason we are doing these kinds of activities, it's because we want to Learn something new, Create something new and we also want to Share our progress/work with you guys because we love it that way and we want to see your reaction to our work.

Here's the photo of the normal novel cover and the recreated novel cover...

  1. Kia ora Ranit,

    This book sounds really cool! I would be interested to hear what happens throughout the story. I really like how you have given us a small introduction into the story and then given us the link to more information. I really like your own cover for the book, I found it hard to tell which picture was your and which was the original! Amazing work Ranit! Keep it up!
