Speak pp.95-110

How do we make, confirm, and revise predictions?

Wordsmiths: Define these words: conundrum, symbolism, humiliation, vespiary, conjugate. After reading "Code Breaking" what words have you read so far that describe Melinda's feelings? How is color used to describe her feelings?

Character Hunters: Make a prediction of who sent the Valentine to Melinda? Was your prediction correct? How does Heather describe Melinda during their lunch chat? Why does Melinda run into the janitor's closet on Valentine's Day?

Historian: What clues do we get that Melinda really can't stand Andy Evans? Give evidence. Make a prediction why she doesn't like him.

Deep Thinker: Just as Hawthorne left clues, Ms.Anderson has left clues about Melinda and what she's going through. Give at least 3 examples of these clues and her use of symbolism.

Memorable Quote: " Every word chosen by Nathaniel, every comma, every paragraph break - these were all done on purpose."
