Welcome (:

Week 1.- Read Checkouts by Cynthia Rylant Page 22
BLOG activities:

A.- Describe the characters and each of their motivations
(The reason he or she thinks, acts or reacts in a certain way)
Place special attention to the reactions on pages 26-28.

The girl was sad because she wanted to grew up in her childhood town, instead of moving away. She enjoyed going to the supermarket. Her hair was long and red, and she wore an orange bow.

The boy was very shy and when he was nervous the thing fell of his hands. Both of them liked each other but they didn't said anything because they were nervous and shy.

B.-Write predictions you thought of, while reading the story and explain which one became true. Make connections to your own life.

I thought that they would like each other and that they would become boyfriend and girlfriend. In the story they did like each other,but they didn't say anything.

C.- Write a synthesis of the story in your BLOG.

A girl moved to a new city,but she didn't want to. In the grocery store she saw a boy and she instantly liked him. He also liked her, but they were really shy and nervous so they didn't say anything. Everyday he would look for her and she would look for him. Even if they saw each other they wouldn't speak. One day they saw each other again, but they were with different people. They had decided to move on.

Add pictures to help visualize your understanding of the story.
