Schoolwide reading -Lesson 7

Stop and Jots:

• Jack went to go sit down with his friends and when they got their lunch they went to go sit at another table And a teacher told them to go sit by him but Jack left and went to go sit by Augie and Summer. I felt so bad for Jack I wanted to scream no! because it would have been so embarrassing!
• Why would Via just say this is Jack in a bad tone instead of trying to be nice and Say that is Jack in a good tone. I would have been so disappointed for somebody that I just met kind of say something kind of mean to me.
•  Justin was taking about Augie in his head and said mean stuff about him and said jack was  a normal kid. Why do you think he would of ever say something like that? I think that is rude because what if he tells Via and they break up because of it all because of Augie and Via would be mad at Augie maybe because it is all of his fault that he looks like that.
• Via is worrying that Justin would never come back because when she was a kid the kids would never come back for a second playdate. I would worry a lot because even her good friends didn't come back for a second playdate.
  
• Justin is going to meet Via's parents. I would be so scared to meet the dad because usually is very hard on the people that are dating there daughter they get very mad and make them break up because of that.
  
• Justin's mom and dad got divorced  and he has to sped half of the time in a nice house and the other half in a poor house. I feel so bad for Justin because his parents don't care about him and they don't even know what instrument he is playing. His family has never even said I LOVE YOU I feel so bad for him.
  
• DUN DUN DUN: Justin got the lead role and Via didn't but Miranda did. I think Via is going to get jealous and break up with him.

Reflection Questions:

1. Which Conversation Starter above is Mr. Solarz' favorite?  Why?
2. Which Conversation Starter above is your favorite?  Why?
3. Describe one conversation you have already started in your Literature Circle.  What was the question and how did the discussion go?

Answers:

1.  His favorite conversation starter is something is confusing me. He likes this starter because at the end of the year so many people don't know what they read in lit circles. Sometimes I need my mom to reread the pages that I did not understand.
2. I like the first conversation starter because I usually ask those kind of questions. I like to ask those questions because they seem to be harder to answer than some of the other ones.  
3. We have had many discussions Long one of them was a big one though. When I asked if everybody liked the book  we had a big talk about how we liked the book and asked many more questions in the video.( It was a four-minute video)
