Ibis 6th hour: Questioning while we read

While we read "The Scarlet Ibis," we'll practice good questioning techniques. As you have a question, please post it to this blog. When another finds the answer to the question or has a follow-up question, or an idea that relates to the question, he/she will post those thoughts.
Please use the handout from the webpage to guide your thinking. Be respectful and specific on this blog--use predictions, background knowledge, and inferences to come to your conclusions. Link your ideas back to the text.

Ibis Blog--anticipating the story

Please answer both questions in a thoughtful way. Interact with your peers here by commenting on their ideas and challenging their thinking.

1. Think about your relationships with people you love, especially in your family. Can love and cruelty co-exist? Why or why not?

2. Should you try to change someone you love, or should you make changes for someone you love? Why or why not?

Childhood: Playground Memories

This weekend, please visualize yourself on your elementary school playground. Describe a specific memory you have in this place. Then, think about what's common, good and bad, about a child's experience on the playground. Explain at least one of those common experiences here.

I encourage you to interact with your peers on this blog. Ask questions, respond to thinking, make connections with others here.
