Week 3

Sorry for being so lax, kids.  Here's a copy of the Week 3 questions.  They're due Monday like normal!

Also, here's a copy of the journal question that's due on Wednesday.

1. Complete ONE journal question for Week 3.  Choose one of the journals below to complete.  Remember your journal must be one COMPLETE page (front and back if hand written, skipping lines or double spaced if typed). 
1. Question 1: In this story there are 2 white people that are nice or helpful to the African-American characters in this book—Mr. Jamison and Jeremy.  Both have trouble with other white characters because of the relationships they form with the Logans.  Why do you think they risk their reputations for their friendships and would you do the same thing or have you ever risked a relationship because of what you think is “right”?
2. Question 2: Why do you think the Logan children were so excited about the books they received on Christmas?  Has there ever been a gift you were so excited to receive?  What was it, and why was it so important to you?

Vocab and Vocab Check are on Tuesday--don't forget!

Hope you're enjoying the book!
Mrs. Doenges :)
