Good job Panda Bear! I think you came up with effects for each cause; however she only told him about when they could land on the Sun not “everything about the Sun.” You are doing better with cause and effect. Krispies!
1. The students in science class had been studying about the sun. So stephen sade that one man cold go to the sun.
2. Merton likes to let everyone know how smart he is, so he likes to show off and made Stephen feel bad.
3. Merton found out how Stephen did on the Connecticut Mastery Test, so merton was saing bad tings about stephen.
4. Nora hates the way Merton treats other kids, especially Stephen, so she gout out of her sete and merton got told from a girl.
5. No one knew that Nora knew so much about the sun, so she sow her smartnes so that merton got told and shocked.
Now, predict what you think Dr. Trindler will do after hearing her in the cafeteria. hr will say that she is smart.
King Kong, I believe you do understand the effects that occured in this story. We will continue to work on spelling sight words. Remember to ellaborate on what it means to “get told by a girl”. You included some good feeling words. Krispies!
1. The students in science class had been studying about the sun. So Merton start talking about the sun with Stephen.
2. Merton likes to let everyone know how smart he is, so he is talking all he knows about the sun with Stephen because he knew Stephen was not smart.
3. Merton found out how Stephen did on the Connecticut Mastery Test, so he had a conversation of the sun to insult hem emberest hem in front of hes frends.
4. Nora hates the way Merton treats other kids, especially Stephen, so she show up hem and said every thing Steaphen sed is correct.
5. No one knew that Nora knew so much about the sun, so now they can figure that she is smart.
Now, predict what you think Dr. Trindler will do after hearing her in the cafeteria He will tell if he was smart if she was faikin maybe.
Lizeth, I am not sure I understand your prediction. Remember that the story doesn’t tell us who started the conversation about the Sun between Merton and Stephen though you are right he like to make him look bad in order to make himself look good. You have improved on your ability to give the effects once the cause has been listed. Krispies!
1. The students in science class had been studying about the sun. So they talked about the and weather somebody could visit it or not.
2. Merton likes to let everyone know how smart he is, so it makes Nora mad because he wants to be a show off all the time because he made the highest grde on the mastery test.
3. Merton found out how Stephen did on the Connecticut Mastery Test, so Merton and the other guys started teasing him and kept calling him retard and dead brain.
4. Nora hates the way Merton treats other kids, especially Stephen, so Nora snapped and start telling them that the power on the sun will go out one day.
5. No one knew that Nora knew so much about the sun, so they looked at (her) in silence with a forkloaded with their mouths wide open.
Now, predict what you think Dr. Trindler will do after hearing her in the cafeteria. He will probably think that her test score are really not meased up she is very brillant and and ask her why she keep making D’s.
Cheetah,
You gave a good prediction! I like what you wrote for 3-5. I am noting the fact that the answer for number 5 is a quote from the story while it fits it should be in your own words next time. For number 2 you wrote more about what happened next. For number 1 you wrote that they talked about weather or did you mean to write whether? You didn’t write anything about it being the Sun. I have seen you do better. Maybe next time?

1. The students in science class had been studying about the sun. So an argument about the sun in the cafatera on that no one could go to the sun began.
2. Merton likes to let everyone know how smart he is, because he got high scores on his mastery test. – I am not sure that this is correct. I don’t think we can be sure which one came first. Krispie
3. Merton found out how Stephen did on the Connecticut Mastery Test,Merton started calling him names like Brain Dead, retarted.
4. Nora hates the way Merton treats other kids, especially Stephen, so she covers (defends)
forhim.5. No one knew that Nora knew so much about the sun, Dr.trindler heard her usd her smartness.
I wrote some notes beside some of your answers. You did not make a prediction about what would happen after Dr. Trindler heard Nora in the cafeteria. When you do not rush through your work, you have brilliant ideas. Try taking more time. Like Nora, YOU are not showing exactly how intelligent YOU ARE! I thought your best answer was for number 3. Krispies
1) The students in science class have been studying about the sun. So Steven brought up a conversation that someday man could go to the sun.
2)Merton likes to let everyone know how smart he is, So he told Steven that Steven was wrong and that his self was right and that no one could ever go to the sun. Also because he got high scores on the CMT.
3) When Merton found out about Steven’s CMT scores he started to make fun of Steven and call him names like Brain dead ( something like that) and retarded.
4) Nora hated the way Merton treated other kids, So Nora stood up for Steven and defends him.
5)No one Knew how Nora knew about the sun until Nora stood up for Steven and told Merton off about the sun and how it will run out one day.
Have you ever seen this happen to a friend or yourself? How should a person that is really smart handle themselves when they are around others? What might be an effect of letting everyone know how smart you are all the time?
Do you know someone like Merton? How do people in your class handle those kind of situations? Why do you think we have Merton’s in this world?
