Reading Strategies

I used the reading strategy visualizing to visualize the pictures because it is easier to understand the book if you can see what is going on in your head. I visualized the part when Ms. Scrimmage catches the boys.

Another strategy I used was predicting to guess if they will get into trouble for that or not. I predicted the part when they were making a lot of noise, so the contractor would go away.

A Quote

One of the quotes that Bruno said were “I never get caught". I thought this quote was funny because at the same time he said it, he got caught!
