Judy Moody Was in a mood. Not a good mood. A bad mood. By: Megan McDonald (Chapter Book)


It's time to start another year of school and Judy Moody is already in a bad mood. She's not excited about her new 3rd grade teacher or her new classroom. She predicts that she will have seat on the front row away from her best friend Rocky so they can't secretly pass notes. She knew she did not want to sit next to Frank Eats-Paste Pearl. Judy Moody does not like to express when she is in a happy mood with the exception of a few moments throughout the book. The first assignment Judy receives is a Me collage which she is responsible for creating. For the next month of school many incidents happen that contribute to the collaboration of the Me collage of Judy and her friends as well.

I would read this book to the class at the beginning of a new school year. This read aloud will last over the period of time of a week or two. After the Me collage is introduced in the second chapter, I will prompt the students to create their own Me collage. They will include the same things as Judy Moody is required to include in her Me collage. Students will be able to work on it during class as well as asked to work on it at home. By the time I finish reading "Judy Moody..." the students will have finished their Me collage's and will present them to the class.
