Piecing Me Together Reading Check 2C, mostly on pages 50-91

Jade's fascination with York, who served with the Lewis & Clark expedition, most likely represents which of these

• her desire to get out of Portland

• her quest to explore her own identity and self-worth

• her goal to travel to another country

• her being treated poorly by people who are racist

Discuss Jade's visit to Sam's house in enough detail that I believe you read and remembered this part of the novel.

You MUST mention at least three very specific details about this visit, Sam's family, what it was like for Jade, etc.

Do not write something vague like, ¨Jade went to Sam´s house and was kind of nervous. They had fun and Jade met Sam´s family.¨ If you do write something like that, where I have NO proof you actually read or thought about Jade visiting Sam, expect no credit or maybe, if you think of one important detail, half credit.

The author uses a simile when Jade says that being part of the Woman to Woman mentoring program is like what?

• Having your teeth pulled

• Having twelve new aunts

• Having jet lag that does not end

• Figuring out how to make spaghetti sauce when you do not have any tomatoes

Carefully explain how Jade's mother reacted to

Maxine inviting Jade to "do brunch." Explain carefully--this definitely needs more than one sentence. You have to write more than ¨Jade´s mother was happy¨ or ¨Jade´s mother was upset.¨

What's the connection between Maxine and E.J.?

• They used to date a few years ago before E.J. moved in with Jade and her mom.

• They used to work at the same club

• They went to school together.

• Maxine's ex boyfriend is friends with E.J.

What place felt magical to Jade?

• Zack's Burgers

• The Symphony performance

• Lee Lee's poetry reading

• The bookstore Maxine took Jade to

Explain about the trip to Zack's. (This involved Jade, Sam, Kennedy, and Josiah plus two others.) Then discuss why Sam says,

"I don't care that Kennedy has a car. I never want to do this again." (Yes, it is Sam who says this.)

Which question at one of the Woman to Woman meetings makes Maxine either uncomfortable or possibly makes her look like someone who needs a mentor (instead of someone who IS a mentor) ?

• How do you make positive changes in your diet?

• How do you become more honest with yourself and others?

• How do you get over someone you loved?

• How do you know who you are compatible with?

Draw a picture of the expression on the face of your teacher when you write "IDK" instead of actually trying a short answer question. (This is also my way of letting you know that I would rather you guess or make something up than write "IDK.") If this does not work, do it on Canva/other drawing program and email it to me.
