This is my drawing of a boy named Jip. Jip is the main character in this book. He is just carrying a pail, and there are some trees and houses in the back. This isn't a special picture of the three chapters, but the cover seemed interesting to color. This picture has the title, Jip, His Story, the author, Katherine Paterson, and a drawing of Jip, the main charectar.

Great Picture, Sarah! ~Maddie happy happy happy happy happy happy happy happy happy happy happy happy happy happy

Sarah  Rolfs  Job#2 Word Wizard  May 6, 2009 Pages 35-46 I am Sarah and I am the word wizard today. Here are four words I did not know while I was reading. I made a prediction, and looked up the real definition. 1. Page 41, paragraph 1. Intoxicating- I think this word means overwhelming. This word really means exciting, or exhilarating. <span style="font-size: 80%; color: rgb(7, 218, 218);">2. Page 42, paragraph 6. Plaintively- I think this word means plain, or not very complicated. It really means to be upset and mourning. <span style="font-size: 80%; color: rgb(188, 97, 245);">3. Page 44, paragraph 6. Commemorate- I think this word means to think about something <span style="color: rgb(188, 97, 245); font-size: 80%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> It really means <span style="color: rgb(188, 97, 245); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;"> to honor someone, or to recognize them. <span style="color: rgb(237, 49, 192);">4. Page 45, paragraph 2. Consternation- I think this word means to concentrate. It really means an alarming amazement that ends in confusion. Great words, Sarah! I didn't know those either! Awesome Job!

I am the super summarizer today. This is my summary of those two chapters we read. <span style="font-size: 108%; color: rgb(0, 128, 128); font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> Jip wondered. He thought about his parents and the day he fell out of the wagon. He thought ," Who's wagon? Why did no one come back to look for me? Wouldn't parents worthy enough come back looking for me? Wouldn't, like the Good Shepherd in the <span style="font-size: 108%; color: rgb(0, 128, 128);"> Gospel, search the earth high and low until they found their lamb what was lost?" <span style="font-size: 120%; color: rgb(1, 141, 141);"> Jip should have asked the stranger why it was that odd man thought that he, Jip might be his lost son. Was it somehow connected to the mysterious man's popping up at the barn? Maybe. . . Jip was too soft to make the older slaves work in the field. They also groaned more then they worked. But, Mr. Lyman made a good show of their turning out to Mr. Flint, talking about how all the residents (men, women, children, and lunitics), were made to do their fair share of the work. Mr. Lyman said to Jip that he has enough workers on the farm now. Jip just waited. Was Mr. Lyman going to send him to Slaytor's or maybe even a worse place? Jip knew the next sentence would lead to no good. Mr. Lyman had asked for a strong worker to work at the quarry, and they sent Sheldon to do it. Mr. Lyman complained that he was nothing but an idgit boy. Anyways, Sheldon was working at the quarry, and he came across some black powder. A few moments later the powder killed him! Mr Lyman was still complaining that he wasn't strong enough to be working there even though working there had caused him to die! The town of Poor Farm threw poor Sheldon a funeral, and that is the sad ending to my summary of the pages 47-66.

I really liked the way you summarized it! Jack O.

This paragraph mainly talked about Put, but it was fun to picture him in my mind as a clean, schoolmaster.

1. Who is YOUR favorite character and why do you like them? 2. Predict: Who do you think are Jip's ACTUAL parents and why do think it is them? 3. Why do you think the stranger returned to Poor Farm?

I am Sarah R. and today I am the Connection Creator. Here is my connection.

<span style="font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; color: rgb(21, 188, 76);">I can connect to when Put was feeling very tired because he hadn't walked for a long time. Like right when we wake up for example. We feel very tired and are not quite used to walking until we are fully woken up. We all feel like this on some days and I think Jip made a good choice taking the short route with Put instead of making him walk and walk.. I think we all can relate to being tired. It was really nice of Jip to choose the smaller route. That is my connection!!!
