ENG1L2L

  1. You just read something. Write down FIVE things that you read about, ideas that came up, lines of dialogue that stick out in your head and/or anything that you remember. 


2. Write a “further” piece where you add something to the story/comic/graphic novel you read.

Maybe you’re predicting something that might happen, or you’re deciding what WILL happen later, or you’re adding your own ideas to what you read. What would be cool, weird, fun to add? 

Try to do this in complete sentences!

Write a little descriptive passage about tornadoes. 

You can write sentences, just lines of description, descriptive words, action words or whatever you like. 

The plan is to capture the ideas and feelings and visuals of what a tornado experience would be like (or for some of us, what it WAS like). 

Try to be creative and use your imagination!

I Am Number Four Questions 

Chapter 16

  1. Why do you think Sam is avoiding John?

- Ryan - Sam was suspicious of John because of the night in the bush - he was worried that John might hurt him - he thinks he’s got a reason to be afraid of aliens 

2.   Why do some people become obsessed with aliens, ghosts and the paranormal? 

  • Shane - because they think it’s interesting and they think it’s real - 
  • Danny - things that have no clear answers are more interesting
  • Jonathon - people want to be first to find out the real answers or the truth

3.   What it disturbing to John about Sam’s alien magazines? 

  • Sebasgn - he actually IS an alien and seeing these ridiculous aliens makes him feel ridiculous
  • Shane - he ends up getting a gun pointed at him because of the magazines and his hands
  • Jonathon - it suggests how Sam feels about aliens

  • MISSING ONE BIG ANSWER - the magazines are real! At least that one story is real (the Mogodorians)

4.   What is the tragedy in Sam’s life that makes him so interested in aliens? 

  • Dawson - he thinks his dad was abducted by aliens - 
  • Roy’s suggestion - the aliens maybe needed the groceries that Sam’s dad went out to buy



Do YOU have any personal feelings, thoughts, ideas or maybe even CONTACT with people who have seen or believe in, aliens? 

What do you think of when you think of aliens? (make the power list)


What is your opinion about all this weirdness? And try to explain WHY.
