We have read a lot of books this past year in Argentina and we have learned a lot from each book. To keep track of what we learned, we posted pictures of the books on a big piece of card board. Beside each picture we put a sticky note that said what we agreed was the lesson in the book.
Some of the lessons were similar to each other like the ones from Secret Signs and Viola Desmond won't be Budged. The over all lesson for those two books was "doing the right thing takes courage sometimes".
There were also some books that had unique lessons like Have I Got Book For You where the lesson was "think before you buy".
Although I like all the other books we read very much, my personal favorite was Encounter because it's the only book I ever read that tells the story of how the First Nations in South America might have felt when people from Spain and Portugal came to South America.
