Week 2 Day 2 (Tuesday)
1) What did you read about today? Be specific..
1) Another teenage runaway was revealed and this one was about a girl named Janice. Her mother didn't want to divorce her abusive husband so Janice started living in Foster Care. Janice had written a book on her experience, but this was a section of her book. She didn't really like staying at the Foster Care but she thought it was better than living with her parents. The Foster Care would give her socks, shoes, and clothes. She would accept all of them except for the coat because it was an embarrassing coat and she wanted to be cold rather than embarrassed. She wanted to drop out of school, get a GDE, and become a secretary. People would say isn't she a little young but age didn't matter to Janice. She was ready for everything. She was fifteen but she explained her maturity was like a 20 year old. She would get really irritated whenever someone called her young. Janice had ran away from 2 Foster Care Centers. She wanted a group home. Janice would take a lot of drugs and she regretted living her life. Everyone would make fun of her because she was the only white girl there. She would always ignore them, she didn't care about them. Christmas eventually came and it was the best time for Janice. She loved it. She spend time with her best friend and received a lot of gifts.
2) How do you feel about what you read today?
2) I felt bad for Janice. I wished that Janice's mother would break up with her husband so Janice would live a peaceful life. I don't think Janice's mother should be with someone so abusive. I felt bad.
3) Think about your favorite character. What happened to him/her today?
3) My favorite character, Janice, had the best time of her life with her best friend at Christmas.
4) How would you feel if the same thing that happened to him/her, happened to you?
4) I would be really happy if I was having a bad life and I got some nice time with my friend for Christmas.
5) What questions do you have about what you read today?
5) Does Janice get to the group home or not?
6) What do you predict will happen next in this story?
6) I think another teenage runaway will be revealed.
