Genre Investigation 3

Reflection:

For this report, I chose to do two informational picture books: one about swallowtail butterflies and the other about bread. I happen to really love animals and food topics, so I enjoyed reading both. After reflecting on the styles of the previous books- and the culture information around some of the types of bread in Japan- I found the latter to be almost a little too easy to read. It wasn't any less enjoyable, and I did learn information, but the book about bread actually seemed to mesh really well for me. On the other hand, a lot of the more niche vocabulary used in the butterfly story through me off and had me second guessing my intuition on what was happening in the book. This led to a little bit of frustration, but I carried on after some time to calm down, and I was able to read through it after a few tries. I appreciate that that happened even though at the time I was upset, because it helped me realize that there are times when it is appropriate to take a break and retry something to succeed.
