Chapter 8




Learning Intentions

•I understand that books have the ability to change the way I think about myself and about my world.
 

•I am able to look for and identify things in a book that matter the most to me.  There are examples of this in my writing.
 


Questions

Olemaun's father regretted letting her go to residential school before. Now all three daughters had to go back.
 

What would you do in this situation? Go along with your siblings or run like Agnes, knowing what you know?
 

How is this time going to be different? What will Olemaun teach her sisters?

    1.I would go to residential school because I would go and protect my sisters. I wouldn’t go hide like Agnes because she could get caught and get in trouble.
    2.It’s going to be different because Olemaun’s sisters are there this time. Olemaun is going to teach her sisters how to write and read.

    1. If I was Olemaun I would go with my siblings and protect them even if I have to be beaten I would still protect them
    2. It is going to be different like she feels like Olemaun now and she is going to keep herself strong as well as safe p.2) Olemaun will teach her siblings how to ward the outsiders spells

    I would run and hide so me and my sisters would be ok and we would stay home. this time is going to be different because she is older so the nuns will leave her alone. Olemaun will teach her sisters how to stay out of the nuns way and to not forget their language.

    1. In this solution I would not run away I would go with my sibling to the school and I would protect them from the raven.
    2. She is going to stand tall and stand up for her little sisters and she is going to stand up for herself too, she is not going to let anyone be mean to them.

    1. I would stay with my siblings because I’m their big sister I got to show responsibility and they need protection just like Olemaun did and she had Agnes so they need me and I’m going to help them survive the outsiders spell and make them feel as big as they are at home not like the pebble.

    Question 1 Olemaun went along with her siblings. If I was Olemaun I would go run and hide with my sister and run away. Well I’m running I will tell how scary it is, how we had to do chores before we even learned.

      I wouldn't run because you could get caught and in trouble

    1. I would run like Agnes because they’re really rude and they’ll hurt and harm them if they speak Olemaun’s language, of course take your siblings.

    2. This times going to be different because she learned from last time what to do and what not to do. She’ll teach her sisters how to stay strong, face the nuns, and still know what’s home and what’s not.

    1. In this situation I would run because I don’t want to go back to school because they don’t treat them right

    2. At this time it would be different because Olemaun would be there to protect, teach, read and write to her sisters.

    2. This time is going different because she has her sister to protect and teach. Olemaun will teach her sisters to keep her head up and to walk each day of their lives as though they were wearing their warm and beautiful parkas.

    1. Go along with my siblings to protect them at residential school.
    2. This time will be different because she has her sisters with her. She will teach them to keep their heads held up when they have to wear the uniforms like they are wearing a dutiful parka.

      I like the image of the beautiful parka representing who they are still and that residential school will not change them into "good Christians".

    I would stay strong and stay with my siblings. And teach them that and you stay strong and be yourself, and just ignore the bad things, than you can live life without any harm. But Olemaun is doing just that, and is going with her sisters to teach them that you need to stay strong. But this time when Olemaun goes to the school it will be different because her sisters are with her and she will be strong.

    1. Go on with your siblings because the sisters at the school might hurt one of olemaun’s sisters and other children might make fun of them too
    2. Olemaun is going to teach her sisters how to keep there heads up.

      I really hope that Olemaun is able to protect her sisters, but I fear that the nuns have control over the students and what happens there.

    1. I know why all three went to residential school. They are all going because the two little ones really want to learn how to read and wright and Olemaun has to go because her mom wants her to go

      What about what Olemaun's dad said about needing to learn English to protect themselves?

  15. chrissyDecember 12, 2013 at 9:28 AM

    2. I would run away like Agnes did because I would not like the residential school because what they do to you and what they make you do and that stuff.

      Do you agree though that they need to learn to read and write in English to survive the changing culture with the outsiders?

      I hope that is true and that Sister McQuillan will be there to protect the vunerable students from Raven.

    1. I would not run I would stay with my siblings I would not abandoned my siblings I would stay with them until residential school was over
    2. She will probably teach her two little sisters because she doesn’t want them to get picked on like she did she doesn’t want them to go though. And she knows her two little sisters are happy are happy to go to residential and she wants to tell them but she knows listen to them.

    1. The three have to go because they are all old enough to go to school and the government is making them go .
    2. In this situation I would go along with my siblings because they would need me .
    3. It will be different because her siblings will be there . Olemaun will teach her siblings to remember who them are and who they were meant to be .

    I agree that now that Olemaun has found herself again, she can help her sisters remember their culture, but can she protect them from the abuse of Raven?
