Hello Students!
We hope you are enjoying "Crash" by Jerry Spinelli! This is the second book we have read as a class by the same author. The first was "Maniac Magee". The two main characters are very interesting indeed. Today we would like you to compare the main characters from each book. To compare means to tell what things are similar, and what things are different.
Discussion Points:
1. Compare Manaic Magee and Crash Coogan. Explain at least three ways that they are similar, and three ways that they are different. We would like you to push your thinking. That means, the fact that they are both boys is a very superficial similarity. Look for more in depth ways that they are the same.......character traits or personality traits for example.
2. Compare the main character from the book you are reading to both Maniac and Crash.
