Literacy
Share with your parents what a "blue darter" is.
Most groups worked very well using "talking chips" to ask each other green questions. Remember, good green questions help us understand the plot of the story. If your question doesn't have to do with the problem or how the character is trying to solve it, then it isn't a strong green questions. Your questions should answer all the questions to the characteristic of narratives; who the story was about (characters); where the story took place (setting); what happened .... (plot). Some red questions (inference / APE) from the story to think about for tomorrow....

• What did Lindsay mean when she said "This isn't about baseball"?
• What do you think the author's opinion of girls and boys playing on the same sports team? How does the author's viewpoint compare to your own opinion?
• Why did Jonathan help Lindsay at the end?
• What is the message of the story? (There's more than one!)

By the way, a blue darter is actually a hawk. Good guess Fantastic 4/5!
