Reading Response Question for the Week of May 31-June 3
We have been enjoying George’s Marvelous Medicine by Roald Dahl in class. Think about the reading strategies you have been using while we have been reading. Are you visualizing? Have you been making inferences about the characters? Are you asking questions? Is there anything we’ve read that is confusing and you need to have clarified? Are you making connections with this book? Select ONE of the reading strategies and talk about how you have used it while we have been reading.

Repaying a Wrong
Reading Response for the Week of May 2-May 6
We read the fable, Ananse’s Feast, in class last week. In the fable, Ananse tricks the turtle, Akye, and won’t let him have any of his food. Then Akye decides to repay Ananse for his trickery. He invites him to a meal and ends up not sharing his food at all.
Is Akye justified in repaying the trickery? Do you think Ananse deserved to be treated like that? Do you think in real life this would work? What experiences have you had with repaying a wrong with another wrong?
