Extra Credit Post

Even though the books you are reading took place hundreds of years ago, many of the characters have personality traits that are timeless. The world they live in is different than the world you live in, but they often act just like people today act. Choose one of the characters in your book. If that character lived today, would they have been your friend? What would you have liked or disliked about their personality?
As always, write at least three sentences!

What about Bear?/What about Catherine?

IF YOU ARE READING CRISPIN

We have spent most of our discussions describing Crispin. Now describe Bear. Points to condsider;
-Why does he behave the way he does?
-Do you think he cares for Crispin as a son?
-Is he trustworthy? How can you tell?

As always, write at least three sentences!

IF YOU ARE READING CATHERINE, CALLED BIRDY

On March 22, Catherine talks about feeling trapped by her life. Do you think boys felt the same way in that time period? Does Perkin have opportunities that Catherine doesn't? Did his lower status in life make him feel he was trapped as well? How can you tell?

These will be due on Wednesday, March 21

Changes...

Tell me what page you are on. Then, think about a character in your book and how they have changed since the beginning of the story. Describe the changes and tell me what you think caused the changes. Do you think this character will continue changing throughout the story? As always, this must be at least 3 sentences long!

The best part of the book so far...

I know each of you are in different places in the book you are reading. Think back on what you have read so far. In your opinion, what is the best part of the book? Write at least three sentences describing what is the best part and what makes it so good. This will be due on Friday. If you do not write three sentences, I will not accept it and you will have to do it again!!
