For homework, please read Chapters 11-14 of Charlotte’s Web.

 

Respond to the following question on the forum (200 word minimum):

To save Wilbur’s life, Charlotte thinks of a marvelous idea. What is this idea? How would you have felt if you didn’t know Charlotte was behind all of this- would you think it was a miracle?

 

Please also come prepared to discuss your favorite scene from Chapters 11-14, and explain why it is your favorite. You do not need to write this on the forum.

 

Translate the following text from Ch. 11 into Chinese.

“ A miracle has happened on this farm. There is a large spider’s web in the doorway of the barn cellar, right over the pigpen, and when Lurvy went to feed the pig this morning, he noticed the web because it was foggy, and you know how a spider’s web looks very distinct in a fog. And right spang in the middle of the web there were the words “Some pig”. The words were woven right into the web. They were actually part of the web, Edith.”

Thank you for replying, Kitty!  You have very clear thoughts.  But just like we talked about in today's lesson, make sure you read every bit of the question you are answering so you don't miss anything.  (For instance, this reply was supposed to be at least 200 words long.  If you make your paragraphs more in-depth, you can fit more complex thoughts in your answers!)

Charlotte wrote some words on the wed to pretend that Wilbur was a extraordinary pig in order to make Wilbur get rid of death. if i did not know Charlotte was behind all of this, I would think it was a miracle and incredible at first. After that, I may deem it was weird and feel a little bit scared.Because in my opinion, animals don't suppose to speak and write something in English.

Thank you for the great response, Ashley!  You had a great usage of the word, "deem."  

 

So Ashley, your opinion is that animals shouldn't talk or write.  You would be very concerned if they did, and would not be able to offer an explanation.  Kitty, you seem to feel the same way, but your response did offer an explanation for the words in the web: an alien like E.T.!  Can you girls think of some other strange explanations for the words, other than an alien coming to earth?
