                                        A DARK BROWN DOG

 Dear Ms. Zrihen, I am done reading the book A DARK BROW DOG BY ...................................... .
(page2) "The child beat his pursuer with a stick he had found". I picked this passage because it looked good to me. The significance of this passage is how a child and a dog meet and the boy beats the dog but then the dog sees that he is sad so the dog goes and talks to him and the dog forgives him and they become best friends.
The two before reading strategies I used was to skim and scan and to look for any context clues.
The two during reading strategies I used was two ask myself questions about what i read so far and I reread difficult pages. 1 of the questions I asked myself was If I was the dog would I forgive the child.
The two after reading strategies I used was that I went back in the story to look for more details and I also I asked myself more questions about the book.
