- I think because of the dedication it will have a message about finding your own strengths or talents and doing what you love to do, and not just about basketball.
- A lot of it is a metaphor for jumping high and disobeying the laws of gravity. (Mostly how he takes a shot).
- The author uses a lot of metaphors and onomatopoeia and hyperbole (because it is a poetry).
- It is talking about how there are different paths and how you choose to take a path in life.
- It is showing how there are different challenges in different paths that you choose (a metaphor for you will face challenges depending on the life you choose to live).
- Again and again: The bird that shows up representing Michael Jordan soaring in a basketball game and showing that you can too if you choose your path.
If you were about to read a book about about an astronaut who went to Venus, what are three or more things you might think about before reading that would activate your schema?
I would think there would be some kind of catastrophic event because nobody has ever been to Venus before, I would think it would definitely be a fiction, because it is nearly impossible to get to Venus, and I would think it would be cheesy or fake, because nobody has been to Venus before.
If the book said, "The astronaut's helmet began to melt..." what would you imagine the cause was? Why would his or her helmet be melting? Use your schema to answer this question.
I would think it would be because of the extreme climate, or being too close to the sun, and because Venus is the second closest planet to the sun.
