Mzee and Owen

I found this fascinating article online about a tortoise and a hippopotamus. I want you to take time to read this article and think how it connects with what you are reading in your literature circle book. Each one of you might find a different connection with the article and the book. At the end of the article is a YouTube video and you are allowed to watch this.

When you are finished with the article, I want you to then watch this video (the link to click on is found below) and also be thinking about how it connects with the book that you are reading. When you have finished both of these tasks, you then need to make a comment that reflects your thinking. Use your evidence based terms when referencing your book as well as the video. You need to include the title of the book you are reading as we are all commenting on the same post. Hope you love Mzee and Owen as much as I do!!

Maniac Magee-Week 2

What problem(s) does the main character(s) begin to encounter?  How are they dealing with it? Make sure that you use text based evidence to support your answer. I expect more than a one sentence response, what are your thoughts about how they are dealing with the problem, and what would you do. Remember not everyone will have the same thoughts. After everyone has posted a reply you need to comment on 2 of your friends' posts.
