Why does Chief Chowig have the same name as Karana's father? Why do the Ghalas-ats use leagues instead of miles to measure longer distances? Why are the Aleuts camping at Island of the Blue Dolphins? How long do you think that the Aleuts are going to stay at Island of the Blue Dolphins? Why do the Ghalas-ats have such good fortune?

Riordan Ryan May 4, 2009 Chapters 1-3

Maybe Cheif Chowig is related to Karana's father. I don't know why. What is a league anyway? Because they are hunting there for otters. Didn't they say some one in the past came when Karana's father was the chief? And I think something bad happened, and the Aleuts knew! The Aleuts are probably going to stay for two to three weeks. I really don't know.

So far, they didn't talk about someone in the past coming when Karana's father was the chief. But, it might come along in the story at some point. The Aleuts probally knew because why would they come to the island?
 * In the book Karana uses league in the sentense found on page 9 paragraph 3. Our island is two leagues long and one league wide.

I choose to draw the Aleuts leaving the island because I thought that it symbolized how the act and that they might come to other islands and leave without paying too. The Glalas-ats now know not to trust others unless they know them and they still have to be careful then. **

Riordan Ryan May 6, 2009 Chapters 4-7

I thought it was so sad what happened when the Aleuts left. I dont know how Karana, Ramo, and Ulape can survive without both of their parents! Now the Glalas-ats have a new cheif. Mrs. Ittner said to write the page numbers on the purple sheet too.
 * I like what you choose to draw!

Elizabeth Schauer May 11, 2009 Chapters 8 - 11 Super Summmarizer

My job for today is to summarize chapters 8 -11. Right before chapter 8, Karana jumped off the boat that was going to take them to a safer island because Ramo got left behind and didn't get on the boat. Now, Karana has to help her brother and herself live on what they can gather. Since Ramo is the only human boy left on the island, the two pretended that he was the leader. As the leaderd Ramo choose where they would sleep. Food is a need to live and it was hard to get because there was wild dogs on Island of the Blue Dolphins living there also. Karana remembered that there was extra canoes by the shore. So, Ramo when down to get one. But the dogs were so hungry that they bit Ramo in the neck and killed him. After that, Karana was very sad and thought to leave the island but realized that it was better to stay at the island.

In your paragraph I thought that Ramo got scratched in the neck and on the back too. Other than that I really like your paragraph.

 Elizabeth Schauer May 13, 2009 Chapters 12-14 Word Wizard

Today I am the //Word Wizard //. I found four words that I didn't know before today. They are broad, <span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 0);">gruel , <span style="color: rgb(156, 106, 205);">spite , and <span style="color: rgb(0, 255, 250);">bellowing.

I found the word <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);">broad on page 76 paragraph 2. I think that broad means something thick or strong in the way broad is used. Broad really means something large or spacious.

I found the word <span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 0);">gruel on page 77 paragraph 1. I think that gruel is some type of soup mixture. Gruel really is a thin porridge that's boiled to make a meal.

I found the word <span style="color: rgb(156, 106, 205);">spite on page 83 paragraph 2. I think that spite means an exception. Spite means to annoy or to make angery.

I found the word <span style="color: rgb(0, 255, 250);">bellowing on page 85 paragraph 3. I think that bellowing is when two or more are fighting. Bellowing is when a cow or bull is making a loud noise. <span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-size: 120%;">Emily McDonagh May 22, 2009 Chapters 12-14

Today I am the connection creator. I connected when Karana took the two birds as friends. In real life, I like to take animals as pets. Also, when Karana cared for Rontu she was very kind and generous. When our family cared for my aunt's dog, our family was kind to her in her temporary home.**

Today I am the Passage Picker. The first passage I liked was on page 116 paragraph 2. I liked the passage because Karana and Ronto are determined to find the big devilfish and I am determined to reach my goals too. On page 138 paragraph 4 made me realize how long Karana was on the island alone because she didn't know what the girl was saying even though Karana's language was almost the same. I also liked the passage on page 140 paragraph 1. I liked it because it was mysterious and it made me wonder if the girl made the necklace for Karana.

Thank you for finding those words and explained them because I didn't know what crevice, brushy, and headland meant. You might want to change the light blue color to a darker color because it was a little hard to see. :-) P.S. Could you please write to me on my page?

Sure.



Elizabeth Schauer June 1, 2009 Chapters 26-29 Passage Picker

Today I am the //Passage Picker//. The first passage that I liked was on page 161 paragraph 2. I liked the passage because it reminds me of how my mother and I are both alike and by having a quick look you can see we're alike just like Karana could tell that the dog was Ronto's son. I also liked the passage on page 176 paragraph 1. I liked it because Karana has another chance to get off the Island of the Blue Dolphins and I realized that all of the ships landed in Coral Cove. Page 181 paragraph 2 made me realize how pretty nature can be and how Karana cared for lots of animals.
