Block One Homework Assignment

Due: Friday November 18th, 2011


Write a paragraph explaining how you would feel if your family decided to move to another country for a year. What would be some of the positives from this experience? What challenges would you face? Think about friends, school, language, food, culture. How would you overcome some of these challenges?

Also, I would like you to make a text to self connection for Block one.


Text to self connection - when a book you are reading reminds you of something in your own life.

Here are some ideas to get you started:

  • What does this story remind you of?
  • Can you relate to the characters in the story?
  • Does anything in this story remind you of anything in your own life?

Think about the examples from class:
*Parents saying something embarrassing
*First time on a plane
*Taking flak for something you are interested in
*Nicknames
*Being homesick
