[|Page Directions]

**Your job is to pose 6 questions to your group members. Each member of your group will need to answer those questions before that week's due date. See question help sheet if you are struggling to come up with meaty questions. Each group member will answer all questions.**

Example Questions:

1. Describe how the main character is similar to another character in the book.(Suzy) I think that Bud is similar to Russel because they both don't have parents and they live in an orphanage. (Heather)

2. Give examples of how the setting is revealed in chapter one. (Suzy) The author tells how the beds are "jim-jammed" together. I can tell that it is very crowded at the orphanage and probably not a very comfortable place to live. (Jamal)

3. What predictions can you make based on what you have read so far. Give reasons for your predictions. (Suzy) I think that Bud will travel all over the place trying to track down his dad. I think this because things did work out with the Amos' then he says he can't go back to the orphanage. He keeps on referring to the picture with the guy he thinks is his dad, so I think he will find him. (Terrance)

4. If you were the author of the book is there anything that you would have written differently. If yes, share what and why. If no, share why not. (Suzy) I think I would have a dictionary of some of things in the book like Hoovervilles. I think a lot of kids my age might not know what those are. Also, there are some words that are not familiar to me but most of the book I would keep the same. (Suzy)

5.What would happen if someone in the Amos family woke up when Bud broke out of the shed and was in the house? (Suzy) I think that Bud would get sent to a juvenile detention center. Or some type of jail for kids. He might possibly be sent back to the orphanage but I think then his chances to have someone take him in would be less because they would probably say that he was a trouble maker. (Shauna)

6.Suppose you were Bud. What would you do after you left the Amos'? If I were Bud, I would go out to look for my father. I guess if I had no one else for family I would want to find at least one person that was related to me. I predict that is what Bud will end up doing. (Kevin)
