The first year high school students are enjoying a book of their choice.

Some kept on reading the first book, others changed to a second book after a while, and still others finished more than one book during the thirty minutes, followed by the sharing time, and the note-taking time.

What did they write in their Reading Notes? Well, ...:
"The pictures of this book were unique. The right eye of the crazy man called Wolf was very strange. And some characters say stupid things. For example, the bad man has a black gun, but they say, "He has a banana!" I liked it."
"BLACKOUT was a very warm story. The hero in this story was alone every day because his family was very busy. But the lights of the city went out suddenly, so his family and people living in the city became free and everyone enjoyed the black night. After that, he wasn't alone because his family made time to spend together."
"I haven't seen the movie 'Titanic', but this book was very interesting. The book talks about what the passengers and sailors did. I think the musicians of the Titanic were very brave. They kept playing music for people until they died. I don't want to die, but I want to keep making something for people until I die."
"I read 'Marco Polo and the Silk Road.'" This story was about Marco Polo. He was the greatest traveller in his time. He was perhaps the first traveler who wrote a wonderful book about China."
"I read a book about chocolate. The book was interesting, but I can't eat chocolate, because it's too sweet, and its smell is not so good. I learned that the people in Switzerland have 12.3 kilograms of chocolate every year. I was really surprised!"
"This book(A Dark Dark Tale)'s pictures are very good. My favorite touch and colors. What is more, this is a picture book, so I could read it."
