In SAHARA SPECIAL their class is the same as ours because a lot of people yell out. Like when Darrel says that Ms Pointy called him a barrel he just decides that its okay to yell "YOU CALLED ME A BARREL". Another way we are similar is that both classes have a great teacher.
A few ways that we are different is that no one in our class randomly swears for no apparent reason like...

Sahara Special read and respond
 
We just finished reading Sahara Special as a class.  Tell your reaction to the book.  Sahara lives in the City of Chicago.  How is Sahara's class similar and different to your own?

Sahara's school life is different from ours! The language that they use is much different from the language that we are aloud to use in school, for example, the kids swear a lot. I liked the book because it showed a really different place.

I think the book was great and funny. Our class is different from their class because they swear and hate to read. The classes are alike because they both yell out.

In the book Sahara Speisal the class is like our class in the sense that we both do alot of stuff to do with reading. The classes are different in the sense that all of us have good familys and theirs no one in the class that I can connect to Derel.

At first I did not like SAHARA SPECIAL. Then it gradually got better. I guess that some books have a different type of action that other books have.
Sahara's class is different from our class in these ways, Sahara's class has a weird teacher, our class has a normal teacher. Also my class is bigger than their class.My class and their class are the same, because we both have a good teacher....

My reaction was shock because she could really relate to the kids and would just let them swear! I think that Shara's class is smiliar to my class by being sort of wild and having some people that can be pretty shy and not talk much but have a whole diffrent story behind them!

Sahara's class is like our class because we sometimes shout out.Her class is different because their desks are in rows(I know that isn't a very good reason)and we don't have a person like Deral in our class.
    I thought Sahara Special didn't have a good ending.I wanted to know what happened next.Besides that I think it is an entertaining book.

I thought that the book was vary good because the characters are so different then us.The class is like us because they have a teacher and have students.The classes are different because they have a different sort of language and talk back to the teacher. Also they do not have the same routine as us.

     I thought this book Sahara Special was very good. At the beginning I didn't like it but in the end, I really enjoyed it.
    I think our class is the same as their class because we talk out and are loud. The other class also talks out and is also loud.

In the book Sahar's Special the main character Sahar has a different life than ours.  In her class there are many unusal things that go on.  For example her mom told the principal to keep Sahar in the 5th grade.  There is one student that has a fresh but interesting vocabulary.  My class and Sahar's class are alike because everybody supports each other in both classes.

My reaction to the book Sahara Special was that at first I did not like the book then as we got farther into the book I started to like it.
Our class is different from theirs because they swear a lot. They are like our class because they shout out a lot.

I enjoyed the book Sahara Special for many reasons.  I liked Miss Pointy because of her great personality and how reacted ot Daryl's mother.  I also like reading Daryl's journel because it was interesting to see his point of view. 
Sahara's class is both alike and different from our class.  It is similar because everyone looks forward to read out loud time.  They are...

I loved this book because I have never had a person read aloud to me who has said swears to the class if the book has swears like b----. I think their class is similar to ours in the sense that some people in our class yell out, A LOT! I also think that our class is different in the sense that our class doesn't constantly swear. But overall, it was a great book

The book was very good i have to say but it had its ups and downs.This class is like ours because they have a teacher that likes to teach and keep secerts and we have a teacher that has secerts. The way the class is diffrent is that there class is really bad but our class is really nice.
