Do Now: 10/4

At the end of class on Tuesday, we read through Chapter One of Katherine Paterson's novel, Bridge to Terabithia. Jesse Owens spent a good part of the chapter preparing to be the fastest runner in the 5th grade. Remember that at the end of the chapter, Jesse's sister came and told him that people were moving into the old Perkin's place. Make a prediction about the rest of the book based on the information from this first chapter.

Remember to format it I predict .... because ....

I think that when the new people come a new girl would come and go to his school and might be faster than him if she joins the race.Also,that Jesse becomes friends with with her and they start to do stuff together.

I predict that jesse is going to practice until he's to tiered enought to run and he's going to find out that a girl in the class is faster then him and would run alot.I predicted that because he talks about it in the novel.

I think that there is going to be someone faster than him, and they are going to be enemies throughout the whole book. I say this because I think Jesse will be mad that he has been working so hard to be the fastest and if he isn't, he will be angry.

Jesse Owens will be the fastest runner in the 3rd 4th and 5th grade and he will move in with his sister but maybe his sister will move out and go live with him and Jesse Owens will be come popular in his school and in his neighborhood and lots of people will know him

Joe, why do you think that? Tell me, I think that he is going to meet the girl now because....

I think that Jesse Owens and his sister will go inside or check out the house that the people are moving out of the house.Also they will imagine about the Bridge To Terabithia inside that house.

I predict that since he is practicing racing then my prediction is that he might be in a real race and he might even win the race.
I predict that because since he is practicing racing then he might be practicing for a race.

I think that's true of what you said rejean because if they live next to eachother they should go to the same school depending on the grade she's in.

I PREDICT THAT HE WILL LOSE THE RACE. BECAUSE IN CHAPTER ONE IT SAID THAT A NEW GIRL CAME AND WHY WOULD THEY SAY A NEW GIRL CAME IF SHE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE BOOK.ANOTHER THING I THINK WILL HAPPEN IS THAT JESSE AND THE NEW GIRL WILL BECOME FRIENDS AND CREATE THE BRIDGE TO TERABITHIA.

I predict that jesse is going to be all happy because he thinks that his going to win the race because he wins every time they have a race.But now there will be a girl that gets in the race and she will win..

I predicted that they will explore the world that they created, as they do they will run into some trouble.And They would have to try to
stop it, before it's to late.

Well I think that someone is trying to beat her but no 0ne is going to do is it.

Anonymous said...

i predict that jesse may not like the new girl because he never got beaten in a race before and he feels bad because a girl beat him in a race.So i think that he would not be friends with her.
