we're really going to be visualizing what that is happening in the story since we don't see many stories like this in Chicago so here we go make an is better I don't hate you all can see that and I believe I might have been neutered before so if you didn't hear explain again that this book is by Jim aylesworth and illustrated by Ted ran Jim Ellsworth Sherry well now I'm very good sir out of children's books I'm really excited to share his work with you now while we are visualizing today that's like making a movie in your mind so while we're reading you can close your eyes just like I just did and you really think about what the story is saying and make a movie inside your own mind here we go so everybody can see long ago at a place for a country road bumped across the tracks a summer Moon soft in the night with Quiet Light the Moonlight Sparkle Panera Road and glean like silver on the rails Cricket sing softly in the roadside weeds chirp chirp chirp chirp and I'm lonely owl calls from the trees along the tracks gradually the sounds of a car stolen to the peaceful night far away the old car's motor went putt putt putt putt putt putt putt putt with Halo headlight searching out the road ahead the car nearer and nearer The Sounds grew louder and louder so now in my mind while we're meeting I'm picturing you sounds in Chicago I hear cars at night too so that's similar however the car is at night in Chicago are still calling quiet on their much louder sometimes there's even Sirens so that's too but that helps me make the picture in my mind keep reading and keep making that picture in your mind that can help maybe this is the same or different than Chicago Spotify Spotify what the old motor went the tires on the pavement then just before the car reached the place where the road bump over the tracks The Crossing Bell began to claim and the red warning lights began to flash red on red on red oak now I wonder if this train crossing reminds anyone of anything in Ricardo can you can type anything into your computer if you have ideas about what this might remind you of in your own life and we'll keep reading will keep visualizing as we go the old car slowed Splash through movement color The Crossing bell rang and the warning lights Flash red on red light on sound train whistles Rose in the distant night. A strong yellow light begin to poke its way through the trees in the Roar of an engine began to rumble out of the darkness choo choo choo choo choo choo choo choo choo choo and then it was there like a giant roaring choo choo choo choo choo woo woo beating Steel Wheels racing on the rails yellow light searching smoke pouring into the sky sparks flying Dead Leaves whirling leaves bending in the Wake the engine through the night now this really made me think of Chicago and some of my experiences here the book says and I have lived by the L train to Times in Chicago things that are really similar when you see that L train flying by so this part as I was visualizing I could almost picture the L train in Chicago as well as keep visualizing a baby The Crossing bell rang clang clang clang clang and the warning lights flash red on red on red off the freight car after freight car follow the giant train into the night headlights of the waiting car show nap on their wheels clickety clack clickety clack clickety clack on and they raced free cracker freightcar 10 after 10 tank cars flag cars and after orange black after clickety clack clickety clack clickety clack clickety clack and the old car waited and the crossing building and a warning lights flashed red on red on red off at last came the Caboose a pass with a rush and a swirl of dust Ali flew into the air then skidded to a stop across the road Bowie the sound of the chain. but the way the Roaring the engine got fainter and fainter the clickety clack in of the wheels. Softer and softer the whistle sounded far far away still in the time of the train were gone all swallowed by the night the crossing Bell stopped ringing the warning light stop flashing and the old car was left alone wow so anything that you're thinking as you're visualizing here feel free to type into your computer I'm interested to hear what other people have in their minds those movies and visualizing after moments the car looks slightly bumped across the tracks and like the train began to say into the night the old motor got fainter and fainter the train of the tires got softer and softer the tail lights got dimmer and dimmer and then dates you were gone all swallowed by the night the night became as peaceful as before the Moonlight Sparkle in the puddles narrow road and gleamed like silver on the rails Cricket sang in the weeds and now even the movie in my mind as an imagining this quieter much, thinking about your own movie and you're my chick visualizing the story as to go and from the tree a Lonely Owl called-out in the summer night so it's very peaceful to me I'm imagining how it's just kind of like nature now that that big train has gone by and at the start with the train I was imagine it was really loud and very active and lots of noise and lights now it's quiet, peaceful I believe is the anniversary thank you everyone for watching and reading Again Jim Ellsworth is an excellent author if you're able to read any more of his books and today we read Country Crossing visualizing the story because it can be very different from Chicago I hope everyone is having a great afternoon thank you to those of you I see checking in and we'll meet again soon via Facebook live keep going to the Estero Burns everywhere website and checking your learning work there I really encourage you today to sign on to exact pass go to Edmonton and backpacks because you have a path that is exactly perfect for you so I encourage everyone to do that today take care
