New Book?

What is our next book?

First Round of Questions (Chapters 1-3)

There is a bit of discussion in the first chapter regarding rules - why does Mrs. Kaplan follow rules so strictly while Uncle Alexander does not? Is it a good thing that Alexander doesn't follow rules?


"Time is not money, Mrs. Kaplan. Time wasted is often time well spent. Money wasted is merely redistributed." -Uncle Alexander

Margaret Rose often writes her thoughts in outline format. Does this help you to understand the book? Do you prefer this technique? What does this say about Margaret?

Margaret is treated rudely and bulied by fellow campers. Does this kind of bullying occur commonly? Is Margaret's response to bullying a good one? What would you do in her situation?

Kevin

Do you think the bully in the book Totally Joe, Kevin, will be bullied because he started a rumor?

The Book "Totally Joe"

Since we are talking about books here well Totally Joe is about this boy named Joe and hes gay and going out with a boy named Collin and they are dating secretly and only a few people know about it and they went to the dance together. So I am writing this to ask you that If you were Joe and your boyfriend told you to tell your dad that your gay would you or would you not joe is getting all woried i know you read this part but uhh dont di what he does be creative so would you tell him why or why not

Whoo!

The Advisor is back and in buissnes as I might ad! The reason why I am so excited is because-WAIT... unless it's some kid trying pull my leg on this one!!! well ill be watching and i might ad about the play thing we should review my play and Moises's at "Bashford church" on August 21st, August 22nd (my birth day), and August 23rd it's a " Mad Town Christmas" and we are doing a summer christmas yeah I know it sounds weird well thats only because i am weird and you all know that so go and review it Moises is "Paul" I'm "Errand" and I got a small part because 1: i don't go to that church 2: they needed more people 3: I have step-siblings that go to that church 4: I love to Act!!!!!!

Why are they outcasts?

Joe refers to several of his friends as outcasts. Why do you think this is? What makes this group of students outcasts?

Author's style

James Howe's writing style in this book is very informal, as though a 7th grader is just talking to you. How do you feel about this type of narration? Why do you think the author writes this way?

Assignment

Let's say a teacher told you to write about all the important things from your life, one for each letter of the alphabet. What kinds of things would you include?
