Make a prediction by answering one of these questions. Don't forget to give reasons about why you think that. You need to write one post and then reply to one of your classmates.
Calder and Petra create a special ritual of eating a blue M&M every time they take the next step in solving the mystery. What rituals do you have for when you accomplish a task? For example, do you celebrate a good grade on a test? If you have no special rituals, what could you begin doing?
In Chapter 13, Ms. Hussey says, "It's not clear if the thief is good or bad." Calder also says, "Good people sometimes get caught in bad things." Do you think Ms. Hussey is involved in the crime? Do you think she is one of the people who received the letter (if the letters even exist)? Do you think a group of people could be behind the crime, as Ms. Hussey mentioned?
*Be sure to give reasons to explain your opinions. How would you describe Ms. Sharpe's behavior toward Calder and Petra during tea? What does that lead you to think about her?
After tea, Calder pulls out an "F" pentomino and he says, "You think it's Mrs. Sharpe who's fooled, or us?" Who do you think is fooled? What is fooling them? Reflect about our event- The Time Travel Trip to Ancient Egypt.
Answer these questions and respond to your classmates' posts. •What did you like best? What did you not like? •What could we do better next time? •If we did this again, what suggestions do you have? We just finished reading Chapter 8 of Chasing Vermeer. Your blog post tonight is to use the Say Something Strategy that we discussed in class. Look at the paper in your trapper for sentence starters.
Feel free to reply to the comments of your classmates. Calder has a special box with a Vermeer painting on it. If you had a special box, what would you keep inside it? Why?
