Character Birthday Present - Due Thursday September 19th

Choose a character from your Guided Reading Book.  In the first sentence, identify which book you are reading (this should be underlined), as well as which character you are choosing to buy a present for.  Then you will decide what an appropriate birthday present would be for the character you chose.  Describe why you chose the item you did, and how you think the character might react.

Example: I am reading the book Wonder by RJ Palacio.  The character I am choosing is Auggie.  If I were invited to Auggie's birthday party I would buy him a insecurity meter.  This insecurity meter would allow him to see into other kids heads what they are insecure or uncomfortable about like Auggie is about his appearance.  I think that Auggie would enjoy his new present, because it would help him to feel more like the other children by knowing he isn't the only one that has insecurities about themselves.  

MAKE SURE TO ANSWER ALL PARTS OF THE QUESTION IN COMPLETE SENTENCES!  CHECK YOUR SPELLING AND CAPITALIZATION BEFORE YOU SUBMIT YOUR RESPONSE!!!!

  2. I am reading the book The View from Saturday by E.L. Konigburg. I am choosing Mrs. Olinski. If I was invited to her birthday party, I would give her a TARDIS so she could go back in time. I would show her how it worked so she could go back to that day and not have gotten in a car accident. I think she would be glad that she had more room to write things on the blackboard, she would not have any more worries about her legs.

  10. Im reading the book Freak the Mighty and I choose Freak (Kevin). I would get Freak a suit that he could put on and it would help him move his legs and it would help his body grow so he would be normal again and he could walk with out crutches or a leg brace. I'd get him that because he can't walk and his body wouldn't grow but his insides will.

  11. I would buy Freak a special kind of mirror that would allow him to see himself as whatever he wanted to look like. In this particular mirror he could see himself as a normal kid, a superhero, or even a robot! I would buy him this present because he told Mighty that he wants a surgery to make him one of the first human robots. Mighty doesn't like the idea since the surgery is very dangerous. I think Freak would like this present because then would feel more confident about the way he looks and might just find another way to live without the dangerous surgery.
