"Finishing First" and "Working to Win"

This week the students read two passages in shared reading in order to work on our comparison and contrast skills. Before comparing the two main characters of each story, the students first thought about them individually. This response asked, "What lesson do each of the main characters, Denise and Jordan, learn in the stories?"

  2. the lesson Denise learned was intead of wining the race and not help the boy on the side of the road she ran back to him and help him because if she hurt herself she might want someone to help her.

  8. I think that Denise and Jordan Learned that winning is not import.Denise mostly learned that helping some one that is in need. is more important then winning. as i was reading the text i realized that jordan did not Just exercise for the race . he also did it for his health . he also learned that his health is more important than winning.

  9. The lesson Jordan learn in this story that you always eat health and
    stretch before a race or an football game.At the end Dan told Jordan
    I'm glad you did not come to the movies with us.

    Denise learn her lesson it's more importantly to help a friend then win a
    race in her coach said you have good endurance. Even though Denise
    did not win she felt like a winner.
