5th Grade Novel Studies

Do you think Jamie’s mental telepathy worked?  Why did Claudia not come out of the bathroom and get caught?

Why do you think the Angel has become so important to Claudia and Jamie?  Why are they so interested in it?  Is it only the money?

What about Claudia and Jamie’s parents?  Is it wrong to be gone?  Will they be angry or worried?

Who would you rather be friends with–Jamie or Claudia?  Why?

This blog is for 5th graders enjoying the book The Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler.  I hope you will enjoy sharing your thoughts and reading the thoughts of others.  Remember you need to add to this blog to show you are participating and part of the novel reading group.  Keep in mind that we are writing for school and about the novel–back up your thoughts with reasons and examples from the story.
