Reading and Literacy: "Shiloh"

Shiloh is a Beagle.

We are going to be starting to read the book “Shiloh.” This is a book about a friendship that buds between a boy and an abused dog. The boy, Marty, is trying to find a way to rescue Shiloh from his abusive owner, but he runs into a series of obstacles along the way. I won’t give away the ending of the book, but the book is really good to help teach about different moral issues, animal abuse, and friendship. We will have many class discussions about what we are reading in the book, and we are going to do a project on the book as well. The project is going to be learning more about friendship and how we can help our friends better. Once we finish the book, we are going to watch the movie “Shiloh” and talk about the similarities and differences between the book and the movie.
