Today in class we discussed the final chapters of My Side of the Mountain. We talked about what would happen to Sam once his family settles in his territory. After the discussion, we paired up and wrote the next chapter of the novel. I look forward to hearing your ideas of what is in store next for Sam!
For homework, choose one of the following questions to answer in a 5-10 sentence paragraph. Remember to have a strong topic sentence, transitions before your RDFs, and lots of great details!!!
***Please write in your best handwriting...cursive would be nice!!
1. Who is Bando? Discuss Sam's relationship with Bando throughout the book.
2. Sam sees signs of the coming winter in the way the animals behave. What are some of these signs?
3. What is one of the problems Sam encounters when building a fireplace? How does he solve his problem?
4. Why does Sam want to celebrate Halloween? As he does this, what does he learn about himself and about the animals around him?
5. Think of two things you would make from the deerhide if you were Sam. Describe them and tell me how you would make them. Feel free to illustrate your two ideas!
