8th One Pager Summer Reading Assessment

Posted on 12th September 2019 by iwertz20

Explain three choices you made on your one-pager which show your comprehension of the book or what you learned from the book

I choose to put the pink headphones on to Natashas side because that was pretty much how Natasha and Daniel met. I put the DUI sign on because when Natasha’s dad was driving under the influence he got a ticket and that’s how the government found out they were overstaying their travel visa. I put the stethoscope on Daniels side because his parents want him to go to Harvard and then become a doctor, but Daniel wants to be a poet instead.

Explain how you used color on your mind map.

I used the color on Daniels red tie because if the tie was any other color it wouldn’t have made as much sense. I the book they bring up Daniels red tie a lot and that’s even what Natasha calls Daniel “red tie” for a while. I colored both Natashas headphones and phone pink because in the book the emphasize that her phone case and headphones. I wanted to color Daniels notebook black just like in the book but if I wanted to write in the book I had to leave the book blank.

Explain two pieces of textual evidence and why you choose that text for your one-pager.

I used the quote “I don’t believe in the love” on Natashas side because over and over again in the book the tells the reader that she only believes in science and facts. The Quote “love is just chemicals and coincidence” in my opinion I feel like that shows what Natasha thinks of love.

Which learning goal did you do your best work on? Which one do you find challenging?

I think I did the best on managing my time because in the past I have trouble with time management. I think I had a hard time summarizing the text. Because I didn’t really summarize at all on my one-pager.

Book Club 1

1. One new idea from the book club is…

One new idea is that maybe there is more than just adoption happening. I think that there is a sci-fi element to the book. In the beginning, there is a plane that just shows up and the only people on the plane were babies. This is not normal in the real world.

2. The most interesting part of my book is…

So far I think the most interesting thing is when they’re at the FBI office. they find a lot of new information about what is going on in the situation around the adoptions. They also think they see a “ghost” at the office. There is a lot going on in the chunk of reading.

c3. In discussion next time I can grow as a collaborator by…

I think I can stop interrupting people when they talk. When we were in the discussion I was butting in a lot so that made it hard for people to get their ideas across. That made the discussion hard to keep running smoothly. I think if I stop budding in we can cover more topics.
