Homework for 4th Grade class, Sarah, Plain and Tall

For homework, please read carefully and do everything in this list.

1. Read chapters 1 and 2 of Sarah, Plain and Tall.

2. Write a summary of Many Moons. The summary is a short version of the story in your own words. We did something similar in class. It does not need to be in full sentences. Send this to me in an email before class.

3. Answer this question: Many Moons, and stories like it, are creative ways of encouraging us to see things from different perspectives and understand that there is more than one right answer, and more than one way of thinking about something. Perspectives can both prevent us from solving problems, if we can only value our own, and help us if we are willing to listen. How do the characters in Many Moon have different perspectives?

Send this to me in an email before class.

4. Extra credit: Do research--how big is the moon and what is it made of?

Amy's Homework:

Many Moons’s Summary

Princess Lenore was ill and she wanted a moon. The King was worried. He asked his wise men to have an idear. But the wise men said they can’t do it.

The Court Jester asked Princess Lenore what she think of the moon. Princess Lenore said the moon is just a little smaller than her thumbnail, it is not as high as the big tree outside her window, and it is made of gold. Next day, the Court Jester made a gold moon with a gold chain. It’s same as Princess Lenore thout. And Princess Lenore was well again.

How to explain the moon shine in the sky again? The King was worried again. None of his wise men could help him. At last, the Court Jester asked Princess Lenore. But she didn’t worry about it ,she explained that ,when a moon lost, another one will take the place.

I think there are two kinds of people in the story. The wise

men and the Court Jester. The wise men think about the real moon. And the Court Jester think about what the Princess Lenore think about, and he solved the problem.

The average diameter of the moon is about 3475.8 km, which

is about 1/4 of the diameter of the earth; Its surface area is 38 million square kilometers.

Common elements of the earth can be found in the moon, with a wealth of oxygen, iron, magnesium, calcium, silicon, titanium, sodium, potassium, manganese and other substances.
