In humanities, we got into book club groups, reading literary non-fiction books, which is basically a mash between historical fiction and non-fiction. My book is “Flowers in the Gutter” by K. R. Gaddy, and it’s about World War 1, about the Edelweiss Pirates, teenagers who resisted the Nazis but weren’t considered a real resistance group just because they were teens. These are my notes about the central ideas of their story. The first picture is the first page of my summary page, where I took the character’s feelings and wrote them down according to the chapter/part. The second one is a cause and effect page of events that happened in the book (slight spoilers!). The third and fourth pictures are the pages of my synthesis notes, with two of my central ideas in CER format. This is a really great book, with an engaging plot and touching moments, and is recommended. It’s like a history book in fiction form, with accurate facts! Much preferred to a dry textbook (apologies to those poor underestimated tomes!).
