The boy in the Painted cave

This week we had assigned to read 4 chapters. My role was to be  the summarizer of the book. I now will tell you about the book:



Graybeard comes many times to teach Tao more about cave painting. One day Greybeard said that he will come back to teach Tao more but Tao was waiting long time and at last he came. Tao and Ram went to the mountain people when the hunters were gone. A mountain person took Tao to Graybeard and Tao saw that Graybeard Was really sick. Graybeard told Tao that he will be the next cave painter and Tao is really excited.

Key Points:

1.Graybeard always returned to teach Tao more about cave painting.

2.Graybeard told Tao that he is good enough to be a cave painter.

3.Tao crossed the river with Ram when the hunters were gone.

4.One of the mountain people took Tao to Graybeard and Tao saw that he was really sick.

5.Graybeard told Tao that he will be the next chosen one.

For this week we are supposed to read four chapters, that means that we have to finish the book and my role will be the connector and describe a part of the book that connect to my real life, and find connections between the book and an event that happened outside the school in my private life.

Boy of the painted cave

This week we read chapter 10 - 14 band next week the last one, up to chapter 18 and I was the travel tracer.

Tao first went to the camp site of the clan. But he wasn't allowed to go back so the hunters began chasing him. Then he crossed the river and went to Greybeard. When he came there Greybeard was really sick but he told him he was the chosen one. Tao was happy he could paint but sad that Greybeard was really sick.

This week I was the discussion director. I decided to draw the scene before Josie and Hollis escaped to the summerhouse of the Reagans. Josie and Hollis are drinking hot chocolate while the Evil Cat Henry stares into the camera I guess.

Extra Credit
For last week I started to read a new book for extra credit, because my group finished earlier. I read five chapters and  I really enjoyed reading this book. Dinnie or her real name Domenica Santolina Doone, was happier in her last life. Her family was traveling a lot because of her dad's job. Her dad did all kinds of work. He was looking for lot's of opportunities. Dinnie had a older sister and a brother. Their names were Crick and Stella. Of course her mother was also there. Everything was good, until Aunt Sandy came to visit them. On all kinds of ways she did not like how they live and wanted to take Dinnie in the city, into another country to live with her husband. She wanted Dinnie to join them.  She agreed that Dinnie will have a much better life. Not much time past when her aunt came back for her, with her husband. She told her to get into the car, took her box of things and left. They left straight to the airport. For the first time Dinnie flew in an airplane. She loved it and didn't stop looking at the window. Even her aunt and aunt's husband are moving to Switzerland. This was a new beginning for all three of them. Now they were on the train station. It was a real new opportunity. Especially for Dinnie.
