This Week's Ponder!

 



We have learned more about our protagonist, Maddie, and her family over the past few chapters of our class novel, ''Canterbury Quake.''

Please comment below. Think about Maddie and her family in terms of personalities, and the way they have changed from the beginning of the story to after the earthquake happened.

  2. Hello room 8, Jarvis here. In the beginning of the story before the earthquake Maddie was really focused on her singing duet with her best friend Lora. She also really wanted a phone because her older sister Tessa is always texts her friends right in front of Maddie just to annoy her.
    Before the earthquake Maddies family was separate but after the earthquake they were really stuck together and didn't want to be alone. Also Maddie forgot all about her phone and didn't really care. But one day Maddies family went to the mall and the got her a phone!!!!
    Maddie has two siblings she has a younger brother called Jackson he doesn't scream after an aftershock he just whimpers all night long. Her older sister Tessa is a little bit mean but because of the earthquake Tessa and Maddie have gotten close.

  6. Before the earthquakes, life was normal for Maddie.

    The earthquake happened at the middle of the night. When the earthquakes stopped, Maddie got a phone so if the earthquake happened at school, she could call her parents. Maddie couldn't sleep at night because the earthquake sounds were stuck in her head.

    Maddie has a little brother called Jackson, her parents and her Aunty Beth in her family.

  10. Kai Ora,
    I learnt that her mum is a hair dresser and that she needs to work to support her family. I learnt that Maddie's Dad works to fix roads and had a big job now that all the roads are covered in liquefaction. I learnt that Maddie's little brother,Jackson is SCARED of the after shock's and whimpers when one happens. Her big sister Tessa has started being nice to Maddie and Maddie has NOT got use to it because Tessa is normally mean to maddie.

    bye!!!!!

    After the earthquake Maddie started being scared night after night and she kept hearing the rumble sound in her head and she couldn't get any sleep and that was affecting her and how she was doing in school and choir. And she couldn't focus.
