** A Survivor of Polio **
=__12/1/10-12/2/10__= ====With your groups, read chapters 13-14 together. Then, silently read chapter 15. Make sure you ALL understand what is going on in the chapters enough to answer questions based on them. Then, as a group, respond to the comprehension questions that were distributed. Based on the group number I assigned you will depend on which questions you answer. ALL of you must write out the responses on your page, but you may have the same answers. Your answers should be in **//full sentences//** and **//restate the question//!** You will be sharing your answers with the rest of the class, so make sure they are accurate!====

=__11/22/10 __= In Chapter 9, "Sunday Visitors," Peg gets a visit from her parents. At first, she is annoyed by her roommates involvement in their conversation, and Alice's reaction to her parents. Reread page 83-84. Now consider the following quote from page 84: "A window of understanding opened in my mind, and the breeze of compassion blew in. From that moment on, I was glad to share my visiting family with my roommates." Respond in a paragraph: What does this quote mean? Does she literally mean that a window was opened? If not, then why did she say there was a window? Also, what does it reveal about Peg's character?

=__11/10/10 __= Consider the following open ended question. Then, answer the question in ASSI format. Remember: ASSI is two paragraphs long and clearly uses the book to support the answer.

In Chapter 3 of //Small Steps,// Peg has a problem with a nurse who refuses to turn her, even though she is in pain.
 * What reasons does Peg have for being angry with the nurse?
 * Do you think Peg does the right thing by telling her parents about this incident?

__**11/2/2010**__ In the first two chapters of //Small Steps,// Peg is diagnosed with Polio, 3 different kinds! Put yourself in her place and write a paragraph explaining how you feel, what thoughts are going through your mind, and what you would do next.
