I like how it is colorful and it looks like a kid website. I also like how the games help you learn more.

Um.. yes that website did motivate me. I'm to going to lie the only reason I really wanted to go to this field trip is so it can take learning. But, now I really want to go and see what the musicians are learning and hear the pieces that they made.

Think and Respond

1.) What does Mari learn by taking part in and winning this contest?
She learns that  even though her project wasn't the fanciest or had  a lot of store bought stuff it doesn't matter about the materials you use it matters about how much time and  work you put into your project.

2.) How does Mari feel about herself at the beginning and at the end of the story?
She felt like her project won't win or isn't the best cause she didn't use any store bought materials. Then, at the end she was kind of embarrassed that she had to show the class her diorama.

3.)  What is the author's message about being dependent on other people? How do you know?
That people your dependent on should have a lot of responsibility.  Cause I'm dependent my mother to provide me with food and clothes and stuff. Mari was dependent on Mrs. Frank to give her the books. 

4.) How do you think teachers should judge students' projects? List at least two suggestions.
They should judge them on  how much work they put in it. They should also judge them on how much they got the concept of the project.

5.) Which reading strategies did you use for this selection? Why?
Well.. I used re-read and re- read it helps a lot and if you don't understand what you read just re read.
