How do we make connections between the fiction in books and the reality in our own lives?
Wordsmiths: incompetence, multicultural, wombat, demure, vermilion. Look up these words, put them in sentences and answer the question: Why does David Petrakis set up a videocamera in Social Studies?
Character Hunters: Why does Melinda become the center of attention in gym class? How does this affect her grades?
Historian: Melinda talks about Christmases past. How are they different from the Christmas she just spent with her family? Why does she get so angry at her dad?
Deep Thinker: Looking at the chapters you have just read, are there any similarities in the story to your own life? What are they? If there aren't any similarities, what's different?
Memorable Quote: "Democracy is a wonderful institution." p.70
