6B WiT Chapters 9-10, Due March 2

Great job last week, but we need to put in more effort, especially on the proofreading!  Some of you still need to check your comments.  Let's try for no errors this week, and I will give you 10 points!


Answer at least 2 of the following questions:

1.  Meg thought that everything was going to be all right once she found her father, but it wasn’t. Why not?  What would you do if you were Meg?
2. What  is " IT," and what does " IT" do on Camazotz?

3.  Why was Meg so disappointed in her father?  Do you agree with her feelings and actions towards him?  Why or why not?

6B WiT Chapters 7-8, Due February 24

Please respond to the following questions.  You must answer one question, and then come back later and comment on or question another student's response.  So this week, you should have TWO POSTS!

PROOFREAD!  Comments with more than 2 errors in grammar or spelling WILL NOT BE PUBLISHED.  Nor will they count as completing the assignment.  
Make an effort!

1.  What does Meg think has happened to Charles Wallace? What do you think has happened to him? 

2.  How do they make sure that no one suffers on Camazotz?  What do you think about this practice? 

3.  What do you think "IT" is?

Are you my mother?

Just for fun!

6B WiT Chapters 5-6, Due February 17

Thank you for your participation.  Please don't forget to respond to another student, or ask a new question.  Also, PROOFREAD!  There are too many errors in your answers!  


1.  What is the black thing?  How is it connected to Meg's father?
2. What are Meg’s faults? How can her faults help her with her mission?
3. What is it like on Camazotz? How would you like living in a place like this?

6B WiT Chapters 3-4, Due February 10

Great job last week!  I'm so proud of your efforts.

Please answer at least 1 question.  Use complete sentences, and PROOFREAD!  Posts with more than 2 errors will not be posted.  At some point, come back and re-read the comments.  Respond to your classmates, ask a question, make a connection, etc.

1. What do you think Calvin means when he says, "Isn’t this wonderful?   I feel as though I were just being born. I’m not alone anymore!"
2. Why does Mrs. Who use so many quotes instead of using her own words? What can you infer about a person who speaks in quotes? Try to think of a pro and a con.
3. What did Mrs. Whatsit show them when they reached the summit of the mountain? How did it make each kid feel?  How do you think it would make you feel?

6B WIT ch 1-2, Due Friday, 2/3

We are going to use this blog to discuss the novel, A Wrinkle in Time, by Madeline L'Engle.

·         Answer in the correct class section:  6A or 6B, which will be in the title of the post.

·         You must add

• an original connection, comment, or question per week.
