The Thing About Georgie

POSTED AT 05:44 PM

This is the Blog Spot for Gary Paulsen's The Thing About Georgie.  You must read the entire book before you can add a comment here.
 
A meaningful Blog will include a variety of opinions and a rich discussion of a topic.  This Blog will give students a chance to share their unique views about this year's Bluebonnet books.
 
Here are some ideas for comments:
 
  • What was the most interesting or surprising thing you learned about dwarfism?
  • How could a teacher use The Thing About Georgie in the classroom?
  • How could anyone who might feel different from their classmates learn from The Thing About Georgie?
  • Describe the funniest part in the book.

 

Once several students have shared their own comments, you may want to respond to those comments.  You may respond to your classmates with courtesy.  Make sure to add some sort of additional insight, though.  (Don't just say, "I agree.")

This is a password-protected, secure Blog.  Only Forest Creek Elementary students and staff members are authorized to read and use this site.

    I think the funniest part of this book is when Nona Rosa gets Georgie and Jeanie lost in the middle of nowhere! I also thougt it was funny that Georgie had to wear cans at the botom of his feet.I think that the most interesting thing about dwarfism is that they can't write like us! I think the moral of this story is to accept everyone for who they are big or small.

    I think the most interesting parts of this book are when it tells you to do something simple, like grip a pencil. Then it tells you that Georgie can't do that. This really shows you how being a dwarf can change your life.

    I think the funniest part of the book is when Nona Rosa thinks that Jeanie and Georgie come to play and she gets them lost. I also think a cool thing about the book is that Georgie and Andy have their way of passing notes and getting away with it.
