Hello Readers,
Today we will start reading a biography. Tell me everything you know about the biography genre. Such as, is it fiction or non-fiction, what are they about, how are they written, etc. This will give me some insight into what you already know about biographies.
Then, if you have time afterward, visit the Bios 4 Kids link I added to our blog.
Thanks,
Mrs. Springston

Prediction
Hello Readers,
On page 161 the author writes:
"Mrs. May's eyes flicked away. "No, they never actually caught them, but" - she hesitated - "as far as my poor brother was concerned, what they did do seemed even worse."
What do you think "they" did to the Clock family? And, who do you think "they" is?
I am excited to hear your predictions before we read today!
Thanks,
Mrs. Springston

Compare and Contrast
Hi Readers,
Today I would like you to compare and contrast Homily's reactions to the boy. What was Homily's reaction to the boy when he first takes off the roof and why? What was her reaction to him after he left and why? How were these reactions similar or how did they change?
Thanks,
Mrs. Springston

Chapter 14: The Borrowers
Hello Readers,
We just finished reading Chapter 14 of The Borrowers. Here is what I would like you to respond to today:
Why do Homily and Pod think there family is in grave danger (please explain and there is more that one reason)? Also, what might be some options for the family in order for them to get themselves out of "grave danger"? Do you think the Clocks are in danger, why or why not?
Thanks,
Mrs. Springston

Human Beans
Hello Readers,
What does Arrietty think the purpose is of human "beans"? Meaning, why are they on earth? Also, Arrietty truly believes that her family is not stealing. What is her argument? Would you say it is a strong or weak argument?
Can't wait to see your responses!
