Passage Picker
Instructions:  Your job is to choose 4 passages from section 4 of this book.  The types of passages to choose are:
Important, Descriptive, Frightening, and Amusing.  Write down the page and paragraph number of the passage, the first and last two words of the passage, and the reason you chose this passage (make sure you explain why!).  Then, ask a question about your passage and give an answer.  Finally, write down the author's purpose (to descibe, to entertain, to inform, or to persuade).

Passage 1-Important
Page 89, paragraph 11
"I went...whole night."
I chose this passage because it is important because it shows Bud's determination to get to Grand Rapids, and the lengths that he would have to go to to get there.
Question: Why does Bud need to know how many miles it is from Flint to Grand Rapids?
Answer: So he'll know how long it will take him to walk there.
Author's Purpose: To inform

Page 98, paragraph 4

Passage 4-Amusing

Word Wizard
Instructions: Your job is to write down these 4 words: gory, ignorant, collection, and boisterous.  Then write down the page and paragraph numbers each word is found in.  Copy the sentence from the book in which the word appears.  Then, look up the word in the dictionary and, using your context clues and the dictionary definition, write down in your own words the definition of the word.  Next, write down the correct part of speech (noun, verb, adjective, adverb).  Make up a question and the answer or a sentence about the word that would help you to teach the word to your group.  Finally, make your word wizard card.  On the card, be sure to include in large print your word and the page and paragraph number.  On the other side of your card, include a picture, the word, and the definition.

1.  gory-page 90, paragraph 9
"I didn't want to tell her that I wasn't really interested in history, it was just that the best gory pictures in the world came from the Civil War."
Definition-covered with blood
Why were the pictures from the Civil War gory?
Because they showed men in battle, covered with blood.
