Biography

= = = = = = = = = = = = =EXAMPLE: = Edited by: Sam Nick Allen is a clever fifth grade student who is notorious for asking "delaying questions" to distract teachers from assigning a nightly homework assignment. His lucky streak runs out, however, when he tries his delaying tactic on his new language arts teacher, Mrs. Granger. She is known as a strict teacher who has a passion for vocabulary and the dictionary. Not distracted by Nick's antics, she assigns the class with homework, and gives Nick an extra report on the history of the dictionary. As Nick starts researching information for his report, he gets a great idea to create his own word! What is the word, what does it mean, and who starts using it? You'll have to read the book to find out! I really enjoyed reading this book! Nick is a funny guy, and I can relate to the story because I've had someone in my class like Nick. What I liked most was how Nick and Mrs. Granger didn't get along great at the beginning of the story, but they learn to work out their differences by the end. I think that's good because it's important to get along with your teacher.

Edited by: Rachel Sam, I agree with you! It is important to get along with your teacher! And I also liked Nick in the story. I think it's so cool how he created his own word and people started using it! It makes me want to create my own words! I definitely recommend this cligsy. (Get it?! A cligsy is a book!)
