Seatwork- Wednesday ___/ 16

Read the story below. Then complete the chart that follows.

The Long Wait

Fallon came into cottage in only her stocking feet. She had left her boots and coat on the porch. She began to warm her hands and feet by the fire when she noticed her brother, Dylan, sitting at the kitchen table with a fleece blanket wrapped around him. He was cutting up vegetable for dinner.

Dylan turned toward Fallon and asked, “How is everything outside? Fallon replied, “The house seems okay. I picked up a few plants, but nothing is damaged. There is some water in the window wells that dad may have to bail out, but everything else seems alright.”

“You worried about mom and dad being out in the storm?” asked Dylan.

“Not too much,” said Fallon. “They’ll be home soon. The store is not too far. We do need some food and other supplies in case the storm gets too bad. They want to make sure we have everything we need in case the storm is as bad as the one we had last year.”

“Well, I hope they come home soon,” Dylan said. “I don’t like when we are not all together, especially in a storm like this.”

“I know, I know,” replied Fallon. “I want them to be home too. I want everyone home safe and sound. They make it all seem safer when they are here.”

Homework- Wednesday

Read the story below. Then complete the chart that follows.

Family Tree

“Let’s Make a family tree!” said Mary Ellen.

“We can look for family records on the Internet.”

“We could never do that,” said her brother Arthur shaking his head. “The Internet is too huge.”

“Nonsense,” said Mary Ellen. “We know that some of our great grandparents lived in Brooklyn, New York. Using the Internet, we can scan the Brooklyn city records for other information.”

A few computer clicks later, Mary Ellen and Arthur found the city’s records. “Look, there they are!” said Mary Ellen, her hands trembling. “Gloria and Walter Horan were married on June 11, 1969. It says her parents were Sean and Margaret Nichols. His parents were Eugene and Patricia Horan.”

“Can we tell where they were born?” asked Arthur.

“Maybe,” said Mary Ellen. “Here are the passenger lists for ships arriving in Boston in the 1880s and 1890s. Let’s check to see if we can find their names.”

“Look!” said Arthur, staring wide-eyed at the computer screen. “Here are Eugene and Patricia Horan listed as passengers on the Adelaide that sailed in 1888 from Ireland.”

Mary Ellen sighed. “Oh no, that means that if we want more information we’ll have to now find records in Ireland!”

Under Lock & Key – Understanding Character

Seatwork- Thursday ___/ 10 (2 pts. Ea.)

Dora is using the diary to write down what she does and what she thinks about. Knowing what a character says, does, and thinks about, helps you to better understand what that character is like. Read the story below. Pay close attention to the main character(s) and then answer the questions.

Joe gathered up the last bundle of wood and carried it over to the wood pile. He and his dad had spent the entire afternoon chopping wood. They would have enough for many fires in the fireplace this winter. Joe loved sitting around the fireplace with his family on cold nights. They would pop popcorn and drink hot apple cider. Sometimes they told stories or played board games. The best part of all was just sitting quietly on the couch with everyone sharing one blanket. They would all watch the fire and sip their cider. Joe loved these nights because he liked being close to his family. Everyone was so busy during the week. But on Saturday nights, they all gathered together to spend time with each other. As Joe zipped up his jacket against the cold wind, he smiled. He was looking forward to the colder weather. That meant it was the time of year for fires in the fireplace.

Under Lock & Key – Understanding Character

Homework- Thursday ___/ 10 (2 pts. Ea.)

Knowing what a character says, does, and thinks about, helps you to better understand what that character is like. Read the story below. Pay close attention to the main character(s) and then answer the questions.

If Dakara knew that the others resented her leadership, she didn't show it. She stood tall in her team jersey. Her thin shoulders were thrown back, her pointed chin held high. Her dark hair fell in ringlets from a ponytail.

"I know what we need to do to find Leo," she announced, referring to the team mascot. "Each of us will go in a different direction. Toni, you take the east hall. Resa, you take the west hall."

As she continued giving directions to her teammates, Lauren muttered, "Who died and made her queen?"

"You must not rush wildly around or yell. Loud noises and action will only frighten him!"

Some of the girls searched the building. The others, including Dakara, searched outside. No one knew how long Leo had been gone or whether he had been kidnapped by a rival team.

There was an old, derelict shed sitting on cinder blocks at the edge of the property. Dakara approached it slowly. "Leo?" she called softly. "Are you out here?"

Did she hear a sound coming from the shed? Dakara climbed the steps and peered inside. It was dark, dirty, and webby in there. She heard the sound again. It seemed to be coming from the floor of the shed! Dakara went back down the steps and crouched down. Under the shed it was dark and creepy except for two eyes that peered back at her from the far corner. It was Leo, and he was shivering! When Dakara couldn't coax him to come to her, she crawled under the shed, dodging cobwebs and beetles, to rescue him

Which is a character trait for Dakara? A) vengeful b) bossy c) impatient

Write a supporting detail from the story that is an example of this trait:
