Maze runner the kill order book7/4/2023 His main fear was to be scared from what he faced, because if he got scared, he could ruin everything and end up being killed. Here the narrator is talking about Mark, who suffered a lot since the Sun Flares. Combining these two features, Alec has a strong character that cannot be defeated. He is also not heartless, meaning that he is merciful and he respects all those who respect him. Alec is mean, meaning that he is tough when it comes to tough times that need serious people and fast reactions. 95Īlec describes himself in two characteristics: mean, but not heartless. I may look like I was chewed up and spit out by the meanest beast in the jungle, but I'm not heartless. That doesn't necessarily mean that the person who chooses survival doesn't like the other person rather, this is a feature of human nature that is inevitable. It is unlikely that we find a person who will sacrifice himself to save a very close person. Humans tend to care first about themselves in the case of a catastrophe then, once their survival is secured, they start thinking about their loved ones. Not for the first time, James Dashner includes an important human nature: survival. And as selfish as it sounds, we need to protect ourselves first.

As a result, I have identified word patterns within trade books and have developed lesson plans and resources based on the word study that can be done with specific books. I’ve also included a word study lesson plan and set of activities, because, much like vocabulary, I find that word study works best within context. Flash Cards (match words to pictures and match words to definitions).That’s why I’ve included the following vocabulary resources: Next, I find that vocabulary instruction works best when it’s done within the context of books that students are already reading. I also created an Extension Activity for early finishers. That’s why I’ve included page by page lesson plans, guided practice worksheets, and text specific reader’s notebook prompts for the following strategies: My goal was to make it easy to teach readers how to think about “How I Spent My Summer Vacation” using a variety of comprehension strategies. It can be used for whole group, small group, and independent instruction – which makes these resources a smart choice for literacy centers or Reader’s Workshop. This set of lesson plans, resources, and activities is for use with “How I Spent My Summer Vacation” by Mark Teague. |
