(Knowledge) Think about Dinosaur Bob and the pigs in “Fugitive on Four Legs.” Why did the people in each selection care about them?

 

(Analyzing) Can an author make a reader believe in an incredible story? Use selection details to explain.

 

(Integrating) The Lazardos keep Dinosaur Bob, but the little girl in Raising Dragons doesn’t keep Hank. Why do they make different choices?

 

(Evaluating) Think about one of the incredible stories we have read recently (Dogzilla, The Mysterious Giant of Barletta, Raising Dragons, The Garden of Abdul Gasazi). What do you think would happen next?

    The little girl doesn't keep Hank because he is happy with his friends. Also she knowsthat she is going to have more dragons to raise. The Lazarods keep dinosaur Bob because they got him on a trip. Also Bob is a boy so they will not have baby dinosaurs.

    3. The people in the Lazarods family keep Bob probably because he is kind and he dosn't bight and eat people. But the little girl in raising dragons may have not have kept it because it started off as a little dragon, and it probably couldn't take care of itself. It was two good ideas. I would have picked both.I like the Lazarods dragon better.
    4.In all the stories, we heard a lot of good ones but, but the story of "Abdul Gazasi," could have been added on. After Alan sees Fritz, Alan could have come back to Gazasi and said,"Why did you trick me?" Mr. Gazasi could say "I wanted to know if you thought it was real magic." That would be a good thing to add on to the story.

    4. I think the next theme will be about another animal. Maybe life in the desurt. Maybe what animals eat and drink in the desurt. Or the people in the desurt.

    The reason they cared about them is becausethey were both very special.for instance the pigs got awaywhen they could of been turned into pork.

    3.Intergrating- The Lazardos keep Bob because they love him. The girl dosen't keep Hank because she loves him so much that she thinks it's best for him.

    the reason they make different choices is because the little girl in Raising dragons found a better place for her dragon.

    4.Evaluating-I think what will happen next in the story Dinosaur Bob is that Bob will play with children. He may squish some people ,but he will try and make everybody happy!

    I think the lazardos keep bob because he is popular.I also think they keek bob because he is very nice.I think the girl left hank because
    she wants him to be free.
    I think bob would be famous.Bob would behave.Bob would be the best pet in the world.

    In Dogzilla it shows that Dogzilla has puppies. So the puppies might take over the town next.

    Well he girl in Rasing Dragons has a dragon but here dragon liked it better on the iland so she left her dragon on the iland that was the right thing.In Dinosor Bob they keep Bob cause they like Bob and Bob likes them.They use Bob for things like he can take them places.

    1They care for them because they are special.2I think Gasazi will trick Alan again.

    2/25/2009 8:32:58 AM

    Intergrating-Because Hank gets so big that he really can't do anything. (hes homesick).

    1.People cared about them because they were unusual and famous.4.I think the girl in raising dragons is going to take care of more dragons.

    #3.Because the girl thought Hank was happier with the other dragons but Bob was happier with
    the Lazardos.

  • eddie

    #4.I think Dogzilla will attack with an even bigger force of puppies.

    I think the Lazardo's kept Bob because he would make them famous.Or he would be a good expirament for Dr. Lazardo.The little girl didn't keep Hank because she saw him at his home playing with his friends.I suppose she knew
    he would have a good time.

    I think that in Dogzilla when the puppies come out of the volcano they will run into Mouseopolis.Then they will do the same things
    Dogzilla did.Then the mice will have another
    emergency meeting.Then they run the puppies off by putting meat in their volcano.

    I think the little girl will raise dragons. She will sell more popcorn. The girl will have more tomatos. And have less pests.

    3. They can't keep making ell potpies with Fish and insekt stew forever. A dinosuar can guard you. They can be great for rides.

    1. I think they care about dinosour Bob because he does unusual things like the hokey pokey. The author cares about the pigs in Fugitives because she informed people about them.
    2. Yes the author of Fugitives made us believe the pigs made an incredible escape from the butcher.

    Each of the people care about the animals maybe because they love animals.

    I think in dogzilla the puppies will destroy the town.Then the mice will rebuild the city.Also I think the puppies will come back and the mice will tame them.

  • mckenzie c.

    A author can make a story beleivable is because ifn he puts good detail in it like the dinosaur does the hokey pokey it would be pretty beleivable

    I think the lazardos kept bob because they always come back with something amazing.The little girl puts hank there because he fits in.Also he can have fun.

    2/26/2009 8:44:34 AM
  • Claire
