  6. I am now picturing that when they are out on the field Bobby is torturing Rocky and in the after time he begs and begs to have the iPod!!

    The characters in my book so far are rocky who is the main character in this book. His personality tells me he is into and playing football. Rocky's best friend and teammate is Bobby. His personality tells me that he plays football and is dying to hear the song that Rocky has on his iPod.

  7. IM Thing of when does the qurterback do the boot leg
    And then through the football to the cooner to not get
    Hit befor he gets really heart to make the touchdown.

  10. Rockys freind really wants to listing to a song on rockys iPod before the game then it turns into argue because rocky won't let his friend listing to his iPod.

    ReplyDelete
  11. A problem in the book Is that we infer that the new kid in school will be a better
    wide recvier then Rocky and they will go to the super bowl.

  12. My connection is that I use to play football The problem was that his so called friend snuck up behind him and put him in a choke hold for his iPod than they started fighting

    Mm

  14. Are soulotion was that when rocky and Bobby wer fighting the quarter back stopes them ZT

    ReplyDelete
  15. If I was rocky I would probley not give it to Bobby ether because he's only had the iPod for a week.

    ReplyDelete
  16. The siloshin was that he could do the write Thang
    And through the ball and he could of couture it
    And made a touchdown.



    SF

    ReplyDelete
  17. The solution to my problem was He so far didn't put the choke hold on him any more.

    My thinking was that I know that FWEET is an onomatopoeia .

  18. The main idea is to make the catch and make a touchdown in the in zone with fifty yards to go



    Mm

  19. I think jared will be a good kicker since he played soccer.the main idea as that rocky is the best player on their team. th

    ReplyDelete
  20. I think that the main idea is that rocky may make the catch or that he may not make the catch.

    I noticed that in this book there is a whole lot of onomonopias in this book.
    I also wondered if linemen means the people who are in front of the quarterback.

    TA

    ReplyDelete
  21. I wonder why did they play in the rain.
    And the main idea of this paragraph
    Is that he should of made the touch
    Down because he ran all the way
    Down.


    SF

    ReplyDelete
  22. The main idea of this book is that it is mostly talking about Rocky playing on the pythons as the wide reciver and how his personality.I think his personality is one of the main perpose of this book because it helps you beter understand Rocky.

    NI

    ReplyDelete
  23. Zt
    I think the. main idea was when the pythons wer against the shooting stars

    ReplyDelete
  24. The problem in the book is that if the
    Play does not work they mite lose
    The ball if it does not work.

  25. Jared doesn't now any body on the team even the coach the doesn't trust Jared to make ten extra point.so when the pythons scarab the go for two.if I was the coach I would let Jared kick the field goal since he played soccer and you have to be a good kicker. Th

    ReplyDelete
  26. The problem on the book so far is I think that Rocky will not make the catch!

    My thinking in the book so far is I have been looking up words that I don't know what it Means or that I don't know how to pernounce the word.some other thinking I have is that I wonder if Rocky will make the catch?I also noticed that they fake passed the ball and it worked so that the other players would run after Lars (who is the person who Rocky fake passed to)and tha would give Rocky the chance to run very far!!! My new thinking about this book is that when I first started I had trouble because I thought that this book was not to great for me. Now I know that it is perfect for me!!!

    ReplyDelete
  27. I'm noticing that rocky has a strong heart and he doesn't give up on his team and he keeps moving forward.

    One promblem I'm inferring that is going to happen is that he might have to play another position he has to play because someone is beter than him in that position.

    NI

    ReplyDelete
  28. Why does rocky get one both offense and defense he would get tierd whith having to go on both sides and he mitt not get the tackle because he is tierd and

    I am inferring that a problem later in the story is he is going to not win the game and he will want to bet them the next time they meat in a game

    Mm

    ReplyDelete
  29. Why does Bobby really want to listen to that music on rockys iPod before the game.I infer that the solution to the problem about Jared will be that the coach will let Jared kick a extra point after a touchdown that they score.

    ReplyDelete
  30. 1. My thinking about this book so far is that I wonder if a bullet of a pass is when thy pass the Ball very fast. :(does anybody agree w/ me????:) some more of my thinking is that I am guessing that unison means they did it hard and had fun doing it.

    2. One of the problems that has been solved is when Bobby hasn't attacked Rocky since the iPod incident.

    TA

    ReplyDelete
  31. 1.my deep thinking about rocky is that is coach doesn't just want to win his
    Coach wants it all and he's pushing rocky to be a champion.

    2.The solution to this problem is that I know the new kid has played soccer and he will never be suited for a rieciver.

    ReplyDelete
  32. My thinking is they pulled off the hand off and the guy
    How did the hand off got him so they had enough time
    To through the ball and make the touch down.

    ReplyDelete
  33. I predict rockys football team will win the football game aginst the shooting stars

    The solution in the book so far was that the quarterback stopes Bobby and Rocky from beating each other up for Rockys iPod for music Zt

    ReplyDelete
  34. I think that rocky won't win the game and lose his game and later in the book he will verse them again and win

    I think the solution to the problem last week is he will win against the shooting stars and a interseption

    Mm

    ReplyDelete
  35. I think that Jared will not make the extra-point attempt .the solution to the problem about Jared is that coach royson is letting him kick the extra-point. Th

    ReplyDelete
  36. The problem in the book so far was that we were all afraid that Rocky would not make the catch.

    We still haven't figured out if he does but I am inferring that Rocky will make that catch. And that he will make that final touchdown and let the Pythons win the game.

    Some thinking of mine is that I found out that there was a thoughtshot in the book that we were reading.

    TA

    ReplyDelete
  37. 1.the first stacky note that I made was that ther was a thoughtshot where we stoped and I put on my sticky note that ther was a thoughtshot in the paragraph
    And I thought that it was pretty important .

  38. My thinking about the book that rocky might go to the super boll.

    A soultion to a promblem is that he won't play another position.

    NI

    ReplyDelete
  39. My thinking is That if he does not get one Jared's good side he is going to be very bad at make a friend with him and that will down his mood a lot and he is going to be bad at making field goals

    The sulution to a problem I think is going to happen is he will get the interception to win the game


    MM

  40. I think the shootingstars are ...........going to lose to the pythons

    The solution was that the quarter back stopes them from fighting

    Zt

    ReplyDelete
  41. 1.the first good thing in the book is that the made the touchdown and they are
    In the lead and they always work together in that paragraph and that's good
    That they are doing.




    SF

    ReplyDelete
  42. My thinking on what we read today was that the pythons might lose the game.

    The theam Of this book is to always follow his heart of being a football player and to never stop pushing your self and to follow his dream.

  43. I think Liam will not play a lot because he's not very good.I think the theme of this book is to not give up. Th

    ReplyDelete
  44. I think rockys team will beat the shootingstars later in the book.

    The theme is about a guy that is learning to be himself while playing football

    ZT

    ReplyDelete
  45. I predict that later in the book rocky and booby won't be friends and rocky & Jared will be friend

    And a them is he needs to learn to not be the. One to get the ball every time

    ReplyDelete
  46. 1. I think that the theme in the book so far is that even though you drop the ball you Got the team closer so you don't have to get mad BECAUSE you got the team closer to the touchdown part of the field.

    2. My thinking so far in this chapter is tha te eery Louisville Football game I go to everybody says "Cards First Down!!!"

  47. I think we are at the rising action in are book because rocky and the pythons are about to win there first game this year.I think that the pythons will go to the championship and win and win the game. I predict that one of rockys friends on the team will get injured later in the season and then he won't be able to play for the rest of the season.

    ReplyDelete
  48. 1. I noticed that in the pages we read today that the plot was probable in the beginning of the book which is Exposition or the Rising Action.


    2. My thinking in the pages we read today is that I am inferring that when the team made a huddle that he had to talk to his coach before that game so he could know what plays to tell the team.

    TA

    ReplyDelete
  49. The deep thinking in what we read today was that the final bussered rang and the score was leading 28pythons 14stars.

    The plot in this book right now is the rising action because we are getting to whar
    The pythons are getting good and starting to beat a lot of other teams.

  50. My thinking is how did bobby not fall face first in the fake grass win he got hit in the bake of the leg by the other team I mean it must have made him loose some of his balance

    I think that we are at the rising action

    ReplyDelete
  51. The raising action in the story was that the tried the hand off and could not make it because in the pathway was not fine and they got a guy in there gap and giving the quarterback pracher and not giving it off to Lars to make the touch down fast.

    ReplyDelete
  52. My thinking was well really it's a question and it is did someone trip Rasheed so
    He could not do the handoff

    And the theme of the chapter was that football games are some times hard core

    zT

    ReplyDelete
  53. My deep thinking about what we read today was that I had a question about what did he brake.

  55. The schema I had was that rocky hurt Bobby so now he can't play football.the text clues I have as that rocky said that he felt so mad at his self after he hurt Bobby . And. The inference I have as that Bobby is going to be really mad at rocky.

    ReplyDelete
  56. My thinking is why did he not say sorry when he saw jared and just asked him stupid questions

    I think rocky did fell sorry when he saw Jared he just did not want to show it

    Mm

    ReplyDelete
  57. My sceama is that they are going to when the game because they been going for the two points when they needed to get ahead of the shooting stars to when the game.

  60. I think that rocky will be happy if he gets safety position but also scared because Jared is getting better in football + he can't be late to practice again

    My thinking is rocky will get mad at Jared because he won't let him get any yards

    ReplyDelete
  61. I'm surprised that Bobby isn't really mad at rocky.the plot of this book is. 1.rocky plays football2. Rocky breaks bobbies leg3. Bobby runs for student council 4. Rocky gets upset because he's late for practice. Th

  65. My Inferences about Double threat and the feelings that Rocky has had and the feelings that Rocky will have further on in the book is ....Inference- The inference that I think will happen next in the book is that I think that Rocky and Bobby will become closer friends and that Jared will grow to like football- Feelings Rocky has had in the book so far is that he has gotten frustrated and has felt sorry.the feelings that Rocky will have further on in the book- I think that Rocky will be happy and very excited about playing Bobby's part.

  66. The problem thAt is currently acuring in the book so far is that Bobby keeps making Rocky feel guilty about breAking his leg which also help Bobby get his way more often. I infer that the soulution to the problem is that Rocky will say sorry and maybe sand up for himself and say no to Bobby because he has a bizzallion things to do.


    TA

    ReplyDelete
  67. The problem is that he is repeatedly being late for practice solution
    STOP HELPING BOBBY

    My thinking is Bobby is trying to make bobby late to get back at him

    Mm

    ReplyDelete
  68. Rocky is late for football practice because Bobby asked him if he would be his manager for running for student council.I infer that the solution for this problem is that rocky will just quit being bobbies manager.

    ReplyDelete
  79. Well SF,
    I am actually guessing that when Rocky sells all the chocolate bars that will help the team and if Rocky doesn't sell all the chocolate bars then he would probable have to earn the money by mowing lawns or getting the mail for older people ( senior citizens ) and then give the money ( thirty $ ) to his parents.
