Wednesday, August 24, 2016 Seedfolks Review Discuss the following questions with your group. Be ready to report out if your group is selected. You will need to include the ‘why’ in your discussion. How do you imagine Kim feels about her life in this strange new city? Why do you think Ana bought binoculars? Do you think Kim and Ana will meet?

Tuesday, August 23, 2016 Seedfolks Character Analysis One of the big ideas of this book is that it is told from 13 different points of view. With your group, review the information I’ve recorded for Kim. Add any details you feel should be included. Add any characters and information you feel should be included from today’s reading. The more information you have, the easier time you will have on later assignments!
