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!!

Mzee and Owen are alike because thay both have a priesnaldey and they both are like faimly to each other and they both love each other and do now want else i bet that people wouldnt do that and stay with them all the time and you now that anamlis are the most active thing and want ever the tortes eat the hippo eats
ReplyDeleteMiss.Nuss thankyou for sharing this video it was the strangest and most fasinating story ever!This story is common to Maniac Magee because Maniac Magee has nothing in common with Amanda Because he is alergic to pizza, doesnt watch moring cartoons,and does the dishes without being asked. Amanda does the oppsite of him.She reads books instead. In this story Mezz and Owen are different animals and has different life styles,but they are still good friends, just like Magee and Amanda.
ReplyDeleteI loved Mzee {MAH-ZAY} and Owen!It is amazing how two different species can get along so well.Although not all hippopatamases.One hippopatamas rolled poor Mzee around like a bowling ball and cracked his shell!I`m glad the Mombasa Wildlife Sanctuary separated them.Mzee and Owen are so funny when thy try to copy each other and talk to each other!They look adorable together and you can probably agree that it would be nonsense or impossible to break those two up!
ReplyDeleteI am reading loser and this connects because Zinkoff loves school as much as Mzee and Owen like each other for instance once Zinkoff started schoolhe won't want to leave. Once Owen met Mzee they would never stay away from each other they did everything together. Zinkoff can't stand being away from school and mzee and owen can't stand being away from each other
ReplyDeleteMzee and Owen are two oppisites. One a mammal and the other a reptile. It is highly uncommen for two oppisites to get so atached to each other. I think that Owen is trying to be normal and act like a regular hippo. Mzee is trying to help Owen survive and adapt to the saroundings. Owen and Mzee seem to talk to each other by humming amd bitting each others tails. Owen us named after the person who rescued him. Mzee is named after the saying " Wise old man." The two of them have learned to get along and be friends.
ReplyDeleteThis was a fasinating story. I leared that whatever age, size, or color you are you can always be friends with someone. In Lozer the book Im reading I think that how the connect is how there best friends and Zinkoff and Andrew kind of connected or became friends at that point but there not really best friend like Owen and Mzee. This a fasanating story and I hope you have more! Thanks for sharing with me!!!
ReplyDeleteThe book that I am reading is Maniac Magee. The connection that I found was that they are trying to protect each other and the Beales are trying to protect maniac from the streets and the cold.I also saw that just because you are a different color that dosen't mean you cant talk to people that aren't the same color.I thought this because in Maniac Magee the people are mean to Maniac because they have a East end and a West end.Maniac belongs to the West end and he is is in the East end with the Beales. I love this story and thanks for sharing it with us GO OWEN AND MZEE!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am reading Loser. I found the connection with Owen and Mzee in the middle of the video and adapted to it quickly, that even though you seem like everyone else your not. Zinkoff like Owen thinks that it's normal to copy Mzee and do what he does. Zinkoff doesn't copy, but thinks that it's normal for a hippo to be like a turtle and Zinkoff to be crazy, and funny and himself.
