Our third guest poster this year is Chris W., who read a nonfiction article about a professional story teller.  Here's his summary of what he read.

This is about storytelling.Diane Ferlatle    is a storyteller and she does that for a living.Also the Ferlatle family passes down stories. Stories were also passed down from Africa,like when there were slaves,but the slaves could not write and they could not read.Her family likes to sing and dance.Storytelling is a strong tradition in her family and culture.Diane’s young son was watching to much t.v. so she sang  books to him so he captured intrest.Now Diane uses music as an helper to support stories she tells professionally.She also likes to visit schools too.That’s about Diane Ferlatle and her storytelling career.

I'm pleased to announce our first, but certainly not the last, fourth grade "guest blogger" for this year:  Brodie!  Brodie read Romare Bearden and did a great job summarizing this nonfiction text.  If you like art and you think you'd like to be an artist some day, check out this book!
