Written Transcript

Hello my name is Justin Ramirez and today I will be showing you the book that I have read and this book is called Schooled. This book is written by Gordon Korman and this book is realistic fiction because some of the events that happen in the book can definitely happen. The book is definitely a good book and I recommend this book because throughout the book you see different perspectives from different people and you also get to see how they see and react to a certain situation.


The setting of the book isn’t really implied but I do believe that the setting of the book is definitely in a suburb and in a farm. I think that the story takes place in the present time because they use our type of slang and they act how us teens act. The main character in the book is a boy name Capricorn Anderson. The main conflict in the book is how the boy (Capricorn Anderson) is a hippy and the bad thing is that he has been home schooled his whole life and one day there was a tragic accident and now he is stuck attending Middle School and now he is a (freak of nature). The mood in the book definitely is probably regular and by regular I mean it just like how our lives are when we go to school, in other words (normal). The lesson throughout the book is to accept people no matter what and that we are all different so make sure to just remember to always be you and not to change for anyone.


In conclusion I really did like this book and I mainly liked this book because you can see different perspectives from people throughout the entire book. Something that I am probably going to remember from the book is the pep ralley in the book because that was a pretty sad and hilarious moment and also a bit embarrassing. I am recommending this book to you because there is always multiple sides of the story and this book definitely is showing you this throughout the entire book. I think that you should go find this book and read this book because it is really interesting and good and I know everyone probably says that but this book is really good and you can maybe relate to some of the situations throughout the book involving all the character. Finally I am recommending this book because it leaves you with a special message and that is to try and accept people no matter what.

  1. Your book talk is really good. However it could have gone smoother, you had a lot of small pauses. Other than that the book sounds really interesting. Great job!

  2. I think that you did a good job on your video but a few things that I would point out is that you should look at the camera a little bit more. I also had this same problem with my video so I can relate. Another thing is that you had some pauses in your video when you were talking. Overall, I think that your video was good.

    1. Thank you Giovanna for your constructive criticism. The main reason why I was stuttering was because the screen would go black and than I would have to move my pointer so it would turn on. But I can't blame my computer 100% because I do tend to stutter and I will work on that for my new year goal. Thank you for your constructive criticism.
