Assignment #3 - Q.W.I.L. (Chapter 3&4)

After completing your rough drafts in your notebooks, proofread and edit your Q.W.I.L.s using a red pen.  Feel free to add to your work as you see fit.  You may choose 1 Q.W.I.L. and you will post your 'REVISED' work on this blog.  Remember, I will be checking your rough copies tomorrow morning.

Everyone should have their notes and examples from class, but as a review:
Q - Choose one place that confuses you and create a question.
W - Choose a place where you said, "Oh wow!"
I - Choose one phrase/part of the story where a clear image was created.
L - choose an example of exquisite or interesting language.

***Remember to draw upon the details that we discussed in class***

  4. @ Dragon - Your format should look something like this so that it is easier to read:

    Q: Watch your spelling. Be sure to proofread your work prior to posting your work. (alawys -> always)
    W: That part of the story made me feel horrible for Cole, too.
    I: What was the image that you visualized when you heard this part of the book?
    L: What do you think at'oow means? Watch your spelling. (cept ->kept)

  5. For Q I put why would his dad be so cruel and mean to him also why would he beat up Cole? For W I put When I heard that his parents beat him up and kept getting drunk I said "Oh wow". For I, I created an image in my head with the keeper holding up the feather talking about it because I think it is a good idea instead of people yelling out. Finally for L I thought malasses was an interesting word.

  6. @ Amy Fleming - Try to post in a more organized manner:
    Q: I put why would his dad be so cruel and mean to him also why would he beat up Cole?
    W:I put When I heard that his parents beat him up and kept getting drunk I said "Oh wow".
    I:I created an image in my head with the keeper holding up the feather talking about it because I think it is a good idea instead of people yelling out.
    L: I thought molasses was an interesting word. (malasses -> molasses)
    - Watch your punctuation.

  7. Q:
    Why does Cole's parents not care at all about what happens to him? Shouldn't parents care?

    W:
    A place in the story that made me say "Oh wow!" was when Cole threw the at'oow towards the fire in the act of trying to burn it.

    I:
    I was able to visualize a clear image when the author wrote about how Cole was destroying his cell room by throwing all of the cake ingredients everywhere and making a huge mess out of rage.

    L:
    The word molasses sounded slightly familiar but I wasn't exactly sure what it meant. For example whenever I don't finish something quickly that my mom wants me to do she says I'm slower than molasses.

  8. Q: Why did Cole laugh crazily when he was thinging about his violent parents?

    W: A place in the story that made me shock was when Cole said that his dad always abused him and didn't hurt Cole that much because Cole was used to it.

    I: I was able to vishualize a clear image when Cole swam in the freezing water with no hope.

    L: These are the interesting words: Atoow, molasses

  9. @ Conan -
    Q: thinging -> thinking (SPELLING)
    W: that made me shock -> that shocked me (GRAMMAR)
    I: vishualize -> visualize (SPELLING). Explain a few more details about the image you visualized.
    L: Why were those words interesting to you?

  10. Q: One question I have for this chapter, is why does Cole's parents hate him so much?

    W: A place in the story that made me go "Oh wow!" was when Cole talked about how his parents used to abuse him so much, and made him go numb because of how much pain he was in.

    I: I was able to visualize a clear image when the author wrote about Cole throwing all the cake ingredients around the room, and how it looked like someone had just bombed the place.

    L: The word " at'oow " sounded very interesting to me, because I have never heard of that word before.

  11. Q: Why was Cole laughing like a madman while watching his hut burn down?

    W: A part in the story where I said to myself, "Oh wow" was when Cole said one time that while he was swimming, swimming well too, his dad would always insult him and not give him support.

    I: I was able to visualize the scene when the eagle swooped through the smoke caused from the fire. I felt all the debris and heat as the bird made a dent through the smoky air.

    L: The interesting word I heard was the word molasses, when I hear the word molasses I think of a mussel on a sandy beach, but I'm sure that's not what it means.

  12. Q: why is Gary making Cole eat cake ingredients.

    W: A place in the story that made me go "oh wow" was when Cole was swimming and having flash backs at how his dad always criticized him and never made him feel good when he gets better at swimming and other things in his life.

    I: i was able to create a visualize a clear image when Gary left the room and Cole threw, crushed and kicked the ingredients all over the place and made a huge mess.

    L: Driscals
    This word made me very confused because i have never heard of such a word.

  13. Q- Who is the keeper of the circle of justice?

    W- A place in the story when I said "oh wow!!" was when Cole's dad used to abuse him and when his mom never cared about him. Every child in the world should be cared and loved by their parents.

    I- I was able to visualize a clear image of Cole glaring at Peter during the circle of justice.

    L- I found the word driscals and at'oow very interesting .

  14. Q- A question I have is that why does his father dislike him so much.

    W- A time when I said "Oh wow" was when Cole threw the atoow into the fire.

    I- A clear image I have in my mind from the novel is when Cole was swimming in the choppy waters.

    L- An intersting word I heard in the novel was driscals. I am not sure what the proper meaning of this word is.

  15. Q:Why would his dad be so cruel and mean to Cole and why would he beat up his own son?
    W: When I heard that his parents beat him up and kept getting drunk I felt bad for Cole so I said "Oh wow", it's hard to understand how the people who are supposed to love you the most, can treat you that way.
    I: I created an image in my head when the keeper held up the feather and talked about it because I believe that it is a good idea to take turns instead of people yelling out. It was better to have people pass the feather around and when it was your turn with the feather, it was your turn to speak.
    L: I thought molasses was an interesting word so that is why I put this. My Mom uses molasses in ginger snaps.

  20. @ EVERYONE - Well done class! I am impressed with your work today! Your Q.W.I.L.s were very well done. I think that many students in grade 6 and 7 asked the question, "Why do Cole's parents abuse him?" We will discuss this question and many of your responses in class tomorrow.

    Over the next week, we will work on basic writing conventions to ensure that you are using proper grammar, sentence structure, spelling, etc.

    Some of you will need to 'BEEF' up your responses, but on the whole everyone did a great job! You will have an opportunity to improve upon your responses in class tomorrow when we do your peer edits. :) Keep up the great work everyone!

  21. Q - Why were so many people coming to the circle of healing meeting?

    W - A time that made me say "Oh wow!" was when Cole described the awful moment in his life where his parents abused him.

    I - I was able to clearly visualize an image when the author described ocean waves and the sparkling sun while Cole was staring at the fire.

    L - I didn't really understand what Driscal meant until they said it was somebody's last name.
