Joey Pigza • Read Chapter 7, page 67-76: • Write a paragraph in Reader’s Notebook: • Choose one topic: • Special guest Mrs. Cole comes to Joey's school to speak to the talented and gifted students about the phrase "character counts." What does “character counts” mean to you? How could Joey apply “character counts” in his life? • Should the speech given by Mrs. Cole been reserved for the “gifted and talented” students only? Why or why not? Does Joey benefit from the speech? Explain your answer. • Should all students receive the curriculum and programs of “gifted and talented” students (smaller classes, more challenging work)? Use Joey as support for your answer. In other words, would Joey benefit from AC classes? • Make entries on your foldable until time is called
