 * Pre-Reading Questions.**

**__Day 1 reflection:__**
==**How would you feel being left on your own for a few months? Would you be able to survive? What would make you nervous? What would you be exited about? Woody I would feel lonely. Maybe I would survive. People mite kidnap me. Get to do what ever. ** ==

__Dr. Pepper__ I would be nervous that someone would break in or kidnap me. Yes because my grandma lives right up the hill. Because I could do what ever I want.

dirtbike12 I would be exited because then I could do any thing I wanted to. Yes. Once I ran out of food at the house I would get my gun and hunt for food. I would be able to survive. It might a little at night because we live back in a woods and at night the coyote howl. I would be able to any thing I wanted to and be able to do what ever I wanted to do.

**__Day 3 Reflection:__**
==**Have you ever been left at home alone? What was that responsibility like? Were you left with specific instructions or was it on accident? What types of rules would kids have it they are left alone? Describe IN DETAIL the feelings Matt felt when he realized Ben was not the "polite" stranger who came into his cabin who he at first attempted to be.**==

**Did he make a good choice by letting him in? What would you do in that same situation?**
** woody ** ** Yes I have been alone a few times. The responsibility is bad. I have had to do something when they were gone. don’t cook don’t go out side. Matt when’t after him. He did’nt make a good chouice. I wont let him in. **

BY:DIRTBIKE 12 Many, many times. I have to feed myself, not trash the house, and put myself to bed at a reasonable time. Every day I am left alone with specific instructions. Turn the stove off when your done, and if a stranger come, grab the phone, hide, and call my father. I don’t think he noticed when ben said he was on the run. When he woke up he realized Ben had also stolen his fathers only gun. I wouldn’t even let a stranger come near my house let alone have him sleep there!!!!!!

Dr. Pepper16

No I’ve never been left home alone. I’ve never been left home so I don’t know how it feels. No answering the phone or door to strangers,no playing with sharp objects or matches. Matt in my opinion is that matt felt mad,sad,and embarrassed. No! Because Ben stole his dad’s rifle. I WOULD NOT LET IN BEN.

**__Day 5Reflections:__**

** Day 6 Response Questions **
==Matt finishes reading __Robinson Curosoe__ to Attean. What book would you recommend to him to use as a teaching tool that would keep Attean's interest in learning to read? Explain why. Attean then shares a story with Matt from his tribe's lore. What was the point of his story? How did Matt respond??==

BY:DIRTBIKE 12 I would recommend a bible or a dictionary. Because people should learn and study the bible. And he should know the meanings of most american words. That one man (Noah) Changed the earth when the flood came. WE would have very few animals if it weren’t for him. He was surprised that one man could build a giant boat and gather up all the animals of the earth. ** by woody77 I would read the bible to attean to tech him about god. ** **
 * God warned Noah about the flood that is comin gd

dr.pepper16 **I would recommend the Bible. Because it’s interesting and it teaches good life lessons. The story is about noah. It’s connecting to nature. Matt was shocked that Attean knew the story of Noah’s ark.**

**__Day 8 Response Questions:__**
==Matt makes a mistake and leads Attean and himself into a sticky situation. Describe that situation and the DIFFERENCE between each boy's response to the end result. Attean's tribe leaves in search of manitou. What reasons do the Native Americans leave for besides this? What conflict may have occurred if they had stayed through the winter and into next year?== == by woody Matt felt happy because it was food Attean felt sad because it was a mother bear.Attean and his family had to move because white men are coming to cut down trees to make cabins. ==

**By Dr. Pepper16 They saw a baby bear in the woods,but they were both going at the same honey. The mother bear thought they were hurting the baby,so she tried to attack, but Matt killed her.
