Charlie Robbins May 5, 2009 Honus and Me Super Summarizer

I really think this was a good 15 pages we read. At the begining of the 15 pages Joe had to go over to Mrs Young's house to clean her attic for $5. He thought he could use $5 to buy some more baseball cards. So he went over to her house, Mrs. Young told him to just throw away everything that was up there in the attic. So Joe was picking up one of the many boxes to haul it down to the end of Mrs. Young's driveway so it could be taken away. Right as Joe was picking it up he saw a piece of cardboard fall onto the floor. Joe picked it up and was looking at it when he noticed that the name on the baseball card was Wagner and the jersey had the word Pittsburg without and "H" at the end of it. Joe was so excited because he knew it was Honus Wagner. Joe knew the Honus Wagner baseball card was worth thousands of dollars. He knew when some tobacco companies were trying to get more people to buy their items they gave away a couple baseball cards with every item. Honus was against smoking and drinking so he refused to have them give away his baseball cards. So there were only about 40 of his cards printed before they had to stop. Joe now had one of the 40 Honus Wagner baseball cards. Joe quickly finshed with the attic and Mrs. Young paid him an extra $5 for doing a good job. Joe rode him bike to Bernie's baseball card shop. Bernie was taking a look at the card with a magnafine glass to see how much it was worth. When he was done looking at it he said, "I'm sorry Joe but this is Henie Wagner not Honus Wagner." Joe was SO upset Bernie offered Joe $10 for it because he was being nice. Joe was thinking about what happened when he remembered that Henie Wagner was on the Red Sox that year and the only Wagner on Pittsburg that year was Honus Wagner. Joe told that to Bernie and then Bernie offered him $1,000 but Joe turned down the offer because he he knew that he could sell it for more then $1,000. Then right as Joe was leaving the teenager that worked there came out and told Joe to to put the card in a safe place because word is going to get around fast. Great summary Charlie. This is what I was looking for.

May 6, 2009 I wound not have cleaned some ones attic for only 5 dollars. I would only take $15 or higher. Matt Wade

Charlie, great summary! I couldn't have said it any better. Michael Walton

Charlie Robbins Discussion Director May 11, 2009 Houns and Me

Write your answers at the bottom of the page then sign your name.

1. When did Joe first see and what did he do Houns Wagner ?

2. Why did Honus Wagner look so funny ?

3. What would you have done if Honus Wagner just appeared i your room in the middle of the night ?

4. What was the average salary for being a baseball player in 1909 ?

These are good questions. I want you to try to answer them though as well as the others in your lit group.

Charlie Robbins Word Wizard May 13, 2009 Honus and Me

Swiveling- means to move around in a circle.

marveled- a wonderful or astonishing thing.

overstriding- is a compound word with over ad striding i it, so I figured out that it means that you are trying too hard to do something.

May 13, 09 I knew what swiveling and marveled means but I don't really know what overstriding means, nice job. Matt Wade

Charlie Robbins Passage Picker May 15, 2009

The passage that I chose was the third paragraph on page seventy-two. In that paragraph Honus picked up a calander and showed Joe what the date was. The date was 1990. Rite the Joe realized that he could travel through time with special baseball cards.

I think that would be really weird if I were Honus. Matt Wade

Weird? That is ALL you would think. I think it would frightening, astounding, amazing, etc. etc....

Charlie Robbins Connection Creator May 19, 2009 Honus and Me

I am the connection creator today. I think tese fifteen pages really relate to me because, Joe went to a baseball game and got really excited. When ever I go to a baseball game I get really excited about the game too. I really liked these pages very much.

This would not be a great connection. I am looking for a paragraph, and this is only two sentences. Maybe there is another connection you could make. Mrs. Best

June 1, 09 That's one of my favorite parts of the book when he talks to Honus about the signal and what to do. Nice drawing! Matt Wade
