Look at the illustration on the front cover. What do you particularly notice about the two boys? What is the setting? What do you think the boys are discussing?
Write about a friendship you’ve formed with a person whose background or
culture is very different from yours. What hurdles did you both have to overcome
when you first met? What has finally brought you together as friends?
The Witches
What do you think would be an interesting fate for a child caught in a witch’s spell?
What is a stereotype? What is our stereotype for a witch? (These 2 questions go together.)
Why do you think the author tries to make it sound like witches are real at the beginning of the story? We know they are not, so why does he do this?

What do you mean an interesting fate? Alyana
ReplyDeleteAn interesting fate would mean something that happens to someone that is interesting.

DeleteMr Prola am I supposed to post this here? Garrett
ReplyDeleteThe two boys are different. The one boy is Native American, tanned and he has muscles. The other boy is white and he looks younger. It looks like he lives on a farm. I think boys are discussing about what they might do next or making a plan. Both boys are in the forest.
My friend Ethan is Vietnamese and I am Mexican, Japanese and White. He speaks Vietnamese and English. He goes to vietnamese school on Sundays. I don't speak any other language. When we became friends it was easy for us to communicate because he was born in America and he speaks English just fine. He was in my 4th grade class when we first met and he was new to the school. When we first met, he asked, "do you want to be friends and I said, yes." We don't really hang out too much at school because we have different classes but when we get the chance we have a good time. We both like cars, and we like to play video games.
This is OK Garrett, but I did tell the class to write this on paper.
