Holes Chapter Chat

This term our class participated again in Chapter Chat, a twitter-book chat. This term we read ‘Holes’ by Louis Sachar. The book was about this person called Stanley Yelnats who goes to Camp Green Lake because he supposedly stole some very famous shoes. Camp Green Lake is a camp for bad boys. At Camp Green Lake he met lots of people with nicknames like X-ray(Rex),Squid(Alan)and a load of other boys like Zero who becomes his friend. Later the other boys give Stanley the name Caveman. Then he runs away with Zero and they live on muddy water and other foods. Then they came back to find a treasure chest. Next he got released since they found out that he is innocent.

Each fortnight we completed various activities and answered questions based on what we had read. We then shared our activities and answers on Twitter with Room 20.

Here are two activities that I have completed on the book Holes.

My first activity is a map. It is from everywhere major they went to like Camp Green Lake and lots of other places. It includes Gods Thumb(a mountain) and all the holes that they dig. I made it with Gabe and Kenny on a Google Drawing.

The second activity is a comparison from what he thought Camp Green Lake is like and what it was really like. I made it on a Google Drawing and I had help with Kenny. You can see what he thought and what the reality was. This is my favourite one out of the two.

I hope you enjoyed my activities. Which one was your favourite?
