The chapter ends with these words: “. . . and for the first time in
over a hundred years, a drop of rain fell into the empty lake.” Answer all three questions. 1. Does this seem important to you? 2. Why do you suppose the author chose to end Part II here? 3. What do you think this means for the future? Zero's giraffe, Jaffy, was his sense of comfort when his mother had to leave during unexplainable times. What gives you comfort during troubled times? Explain your response.
Reflect about our event- The Time Travel Trip to Ancient Rome.
Answer these questions and respond to your classmates' posts.
How do you think Stanley and Zero feel when the Warden confronts them? How would you feel if you were in Stanley and Zero's position? Why?
Choose one of these questions to answer. *Write which number you chose at the beginning of your response. 1. Why do you think Zero chooses that moment to confess about
the stolen shoes? 2. Zero says, “If I had just kept those old smelly sneakers, then neither of us would be here right now.” Do you think he’s right? Is there anything positive about their situation? Name three things that you learned during the field trip yesterday.
What was your favorite part of the field trip? *Comment on a classmate's post. “Stanley thought only about each step, and not the
impossible task that lay before him.” Have you ever attempted anything that seemed impossible? How did you approach it? What did you learn from the experience? Why do you think Stanley doesn’t fight back when Zigzag makes fun of him? What would you have done in Stanley’s position? Why?
Do you think Mr. Sir really filled Stanley's canteen with water? If so, why? If not, what do you think Mr. Sir put in there instead? What makes you think that? Why would he do that?
