Quarter 2 Novel     

We have begun to look at Stargirl, a Jerry Spinelli book.  Some of us have already ready this novel.  It is a text that is used at many grade levels.  We will be reading it with a focus on Characters, Character Traits, and Character Motivation.

Today we read  in class

Characters introduced so far:
      Stargirl  Caraway
      Kevin
      Uncle Pete
       Leo Borlock (narrator)

Character traits
Stargirl:  dresses differently - long dress/skirt
                doesn't seem to mind/notice being different
                 appears to be quiet-or not talkative

Leo:  "collect" porcupine neckties
