On page 164, I felt that when Kevin said something about Stargirl and was talking about her he should have stood up for her because Stargirl really understood him like nobody else.

What do you think Archie wrote on the paper?

I was very surprised when Stargirl kissed Hillari instead of saying something back when Hillari slapped her.

# data[].attributes.body
I was really surprised to see how well Stargirl hid all her feelings.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the end of the story would have been better if Stargirl was talked about more. She was the main character of the book but then after the flash forward, she was never heard from again.

# data[].attributes.body
I found it interesting at the end how even though it seemed that Stargirl "wasn't there," she was still watching Leo and she still sent him a birthday gift.

# data[].attributes.body
I find it interesting and unexpected that Stargirl rubbed off on Leo. At the end of the story, Leo seemed to miss Stargirl and he did such nice things that Stargirl would have done.

# data[].attributes.body
Keep up the good work for those of you who are posting.  Others need yo hop on this!

# data[].attributes.body
During chapter 25 I inferred that Leo and Stargirl would have some arguments. As I read I saw that it was one things that was very big. Leo continued to ignore stargirl and she tried to do something about it but nothing worked. I feel like in the future this will force Stargirl to change.

# data[].attributes.body
I also predict that in the next few chapters we will see Stargirl's reaction on nobody showing up when she came back from the competition. I think nobody showing up will show her that it's not about popularity and she should just be herself.

# data[].attributes.body
In the story I agreed with Dori's point of view. I think she made a good point about how Stargirl has really changed herself and it's for all the wrong reasons.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm surprised how Leo's criticizing words didn't offend Stargirl. Instead, she just completely decided to change herself.

# data[].attributes.body
I also think stargirls parents are normal and let her do what she wants because they know she will find her way somehow and later on fit in. It is only the first year, she may or may not change and find her group of friends or just one.

# data[].attributes.body
In chapter 22, I was not at all surprised that Stargirl came from a normal family. I felt like the homeschooling and barrier between a public school and home school is different.  When you don't need to worry about how others look at you, you kind of act your own way. But, in a public school people are all the same because they want to fit in and be accepted.

# data[].attributes.body
I personally think that Leo should not be trying to change Stargirl. I feel the unique characteristics Stagirl has is what makes her who she is. I think that later on Leo will realize that he likes Stargirl over all of the other girls because of all the things she does that makes her stand out from the others. I don't think he should be trying to change her and make her fit in because it's not who she truly is.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 127, when it talked about all the hate Stargirl was getting from other students I found it completely unfair. It seemed that the students of Mica High were getting jealous of Stargirl to me. To me I think the real problem is that the students are jealous that Stargirl is a person who can just be her unique, kind, self without caring what other people think of her. I think it's completely unfair for them to judge her because she has a kind heart and got some attention.

# data[].attributes.body
Kate, in chapter 22 I was only partly surprised. I personally wasn't really surprised that she had normal parents because Archie had already mentioned they were normal. I also feel that kids can be way different then there parents so having Stargirl be unique and different doesn't mean that her parents are the same. But, I do agree that I found it a little surprising to see that Stargirl's bedroom was ordinary like any other high schools girls because I would think that she would have "weird" or unusual stuff that expresses her.

# data[].attributes.body
I was quite surprised when I found out Stargirl came from a normal family in chapter 22. I was surprised also when I read that she lived in a normal house. She is such a unique character, I pictured her coming from an unusual house with unusual parents.

# data[].attributes.body
It seems that the more Leo and Stargirl hang out, the more Starigrl seems like the other kids. I think Leo may have rubbed off on Stargirl and she has changed yet hasn't really noticed it.

# data[].attributes.body
Megan and Katherine - you are doing a great job with this backchannel.  Try to comment on one another's comments to keep it going while you are not in discussion.  Get yourselves involved.

# data[].attributes.body
Do you think that Stargirl is effected in any way by the rude comments people say?

# data[].attributes.body
Discussion question: Do you think it is acceptable for the students during hot seat to yell and insult stargirl for the things she had done? Should they have asked when the cameras were off, infront of the cameras, in a nicer tone, or just have done what they did? Why do you think that?

# data[].attributes.body
In the beginning of the story, it talked about Leo receiving an anonymous birthday gift (it was a tie with a yellow ribbon.) Now, in the chapter we ended on the tie Leo anonymously received is mentioned again.  Do you think it will come back into play again later on in the story? Why or why not?

# data[].attributes.body
Discussion Question:                                              What do you think was Leo's turning point when he suddenly started liking Stargirl?

# data[].attributes.body
I thought that on page 99 Leo made a good point about Stargirl to Kevin. Although Stargirl can be weird yet unique at times she makes up for it by being caring and doing generous things such as singing Happy Birthday to them and making Valentines cards. I think the people at Mica High shouldn't be shunning Stargirl because nobody's perfect and she doesn't deserve it. Do you agree or disagree? Why or why not?

# data[].attributes.body
After reading page 109-110 I was surprised to hear about Stargirls dream career because I feel like it's not common. I feel normally people choose common stuff like a lawyer, doctor, teacher, etc. but Stargirl wanted to be a silver-lunch-truck driver.

# data[].attributes.body
Kate, I made the same prediction as you earlier in the book. I wonder how he got feelings for Stargirl so quickly but in the beginning it seemed that Leo deep down liked how unique and original Stargirl was.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 111 I realized that what are group discussed in the previous discussion was right. Stargirl was the one that got Leo a present anonymously.

# data[].attributes.body
My prediction came true that Leo would become in love with Stargirl. I felt like Leo was going to change his opinion about her and I was right. I wonder why suddenly he now likes Stargirl.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm surprised to see how quickly Leo started having feelings for Stargirl. I feel like one day it seemed that he just noticed her and thought she was cool and a little weird and then the next day it seemed like he was in love with her. Why/how do you think he gathered feelings for her so quickly? Do you think there was a main turning point that made him love Stargirl?

# data[].attributes.body
Kate, I think that Leo was thrilled to be called Starboy because he started to realize he had feelings for Stargirl. So, when the word got around I think he was happy to see that people put them two together as a couple.

# data[].attributes.body
I didn't understand when the cheerleaders called Leo "Starboy," he said he felt thrilled. I don't get why he is thrilled that the other kids are making fun of him.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm surprised to see how quickly Leos view on Stargirl changed. I feel like one day he cared about her but didn't act on it and now he's standing outside her house.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm surprised that all of a sudden, Leo cares so much about Stargirl. She wasn't at school and now suddenly, Leo is so concerned about her.

# data[].attributes.body
After reading page 63 I was very surprised to see how quickly Stargirl just moves on from name to name. I wonder if she'll ever change her name again or if she'll always be Stargirl from now on.

# data[].attributes.body
After the episode of Hot Seat I was surprised to see Stargirl change so easily. After the jury started saying rude stuff to her Stargirl stopped cheering for the other team. I was surprised with this because normally Stargirl doesn't back down and she doesn't mind peoples opinions but in this situation she listened and actually did what they said.

# data[].attributes.body
After reading tonight's chapters I predicted that Stargirl and Leo will become really close. I think this because it seems Stargirl has been trying to slowly start hanging out with Leo more and I think Leo sees her for who she really is.

# data[].attributes.body
page 63: I wonder why Stargirl's parents just let her change her name when she felt like it?

# data[].attributes.body
I previously thought that Leo didn't want Stargirl on the show so she wouldn't be exposed or hurt on the show but now it seems he just didn't want her on the show so the show didn't fall through and become unpopular.

# data[].attributes.body
I find it surprising that the school supports the Hot Seat. It seems more of like a fun show that Kevin and Leo would do for fun out of school and that it doesn't seems like a show that the kids would do in school.

Hi!  It's Mrs. Ruhl.  You are doing a great job with this backchannel.  Try to post on others comments to keep the conversation going when you are not in class.  Keep up the good work!

# data[].attributes.body
In the story, Archie stated, "Keep looking at her long enough. One day you might see someone you know." Do you think this will be important later on the story? Why or why not?

# data[].attributes.body
What do you think will be the main conflict in the story?

# data[].attributes.body
Why do you think the author had Stargirl go to Anna's grandfathers funeral in the story?

# data[].attributes.body
Surprised-I was very surprised that after Stargirl stated the Pledge of Allegiance wrong nobody corrected her. I wasn't surprised that the people who usually just make fun of her didn't correct her but I feel that from personal experience there are people at a school that set good examples. I would think that at least one person would tell her the real Pledge of Allegiance instead of letting her do it wrong everyday.

# data[].attributes.body
I am not surprised that all the kids think that Stargirl was hired by the school to come in. She seems so fake because of all the unusual things she does that no one else would think of doing.

# data[].attributes.body
Opinion-I think that it was very wrong of the cheerleaders to leave Stargirl at the gym and go on the bus back home. I feel that the cheerleaders had no good reason to leave her behind. They acted out of evil and in the moment because Stargirl stopped cheering and walked out of the gym. Although Stargirl shouldn't have left I feel that the cheerleaders should know by now that Stargirl isn't normal and she usually does her own thing. Pg.53-54

# data[].attributes.body
Confused- I do not understand why Stargirl went to Anna's grandfathers funeral and lunch at Anna's house. If she never talked to these people or knew them why would she have gone?

# data[].attributes.body
** Prediction  ** I think Stargirl will not take the hot seat. I think this because she doesn't seem like the type of person to tend to want to tell people about herself. Stargirl will turn it down and many of the students will try very hard to find out what she is all about.

# data[].attributes.body
I am confused as to what happened in chapter 10. I didn't understand why Stargirl had shown up at the funeral and I was confused with the little boys birthday. How did Stargirl have anything to do with the boys party?

# data[].attributes.body
*?*- I'm confused as to why Wayne Parr was considered to be the center of everything if he didn't do anything. He didn't really talk much and he didn't do any sports, yet, people subconsciously wondered what he was going to do, wear, and act.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm confused as to what happened on page 44. One kid overheard Stargirl saying the Pledge of Allegiance wrong and then they posted the words that she had used when saying it. I was confused because I thought the students would have made fun of her but instead, they started copying her.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm confused about the some students thinking that Stargirl was an actress hired to benefit the school. Why would they think this and how would it give the school any advances? 🐔

# data[].attributes.body
I'm confused as to why in the beginning of the story, Leo didn't want to have Stargirl on Hot Seat.

# data[].attributes.body
*?*: In chapter seven, Hillari Kimble talked to stargirl and specifically told her not to sing happy birthday to her like she did to other. But, the next day on Hillari's birthday later at lunch Stargirl takes out her ukulele and starts to sing happy birthday to Hillari. My question is why Stargirl decided to do it even if Hillari specifically said not to.

# data[].attributes.body
*prediction*- In the first chapter it talks about how Leos mom called their local newspaper on his birthday and how he collected porcupine neck ties and a few days later he got a package with a porcupine neck tie but there was no card saying who it was from. I think that the package was from Stargirl because if she was home schooled, She still lived in their town so she saw the newspaper but the kids in the town may not have known her so she may have seen the newspaper and gave Leo the neck tie but didn't leave a card because she knew Leo didn't know who she was.

# data[].attributes.body
*?*: After Hillari Kimble told Stargirl not to sing "Happy Birthday" to her, Stargirl continued to sing the song but not to Hillari. Stargirl sang the song to Leo, who had nothing to do with the situation. Why did Stargirl choose to sing to Leo over every other person in the cafeteria? Was there a specific reason why she chose Leo?

# data[].attributes.body
C- I made a connection to the book in the first three chapters. In their school, when a new student comes, everyone asks each other if they saw her yet and they spread things like she was home schooled until now. In our school, when there is a new student we ask each other what they look like and what team they are on.

# data[].attributes.body
*** New information ***: As I was reading chapter eight it said how Stargirl became very popular and when she was not around people wanted to know where she was. I would not have thought this would've happened because of the actions she did like not listening to what Hillari Kimble said about her birthday and dancing all around the football field. Also, I noticed how it was the cheerleaders who wanted to be friends with her more than anyone else.

# data[].attributes.body
*Prediction*: I think that the people of Mica high will turn on Stargirl, because of the things she did at the game. Stargirl cheered for both teams at the Mica football game, when she should have been cheering for only one side.

# data[].attributes.body
**Important Part: I found it surprising that when Stargirl was seen less around, everyone went all crazy to find her. I was surprised because when she first came, everyone seemed to make fun of her and mock her but now, everyone is idolizing her and following the things she used to do like playing the ukulele, dancing in the rain, and bring pet rats to school.

# data[].attributes.body
Prediction: I think that Kevin is going to try and get Stargirl to come on the Hot Seat but Leo might convince him not to because Leo seems to think that there is something about Stargirl that makes her different.

# data[].attributes.body
I also thought that Archie himself and some of the valuable advice he gives will have a big impact on Leo's point of view and his reactions because to me he seems to be wise. I think this relates back to the question about inheriting good and evil, I think Archie is an example of somebody that these kids in the story can look up to and gain positive information to help them. Pg.33

# data[].attributes.body
I made a prediction after Archie says to Leo about how after he gets to know Stargirl he'll see someone he knows. I predict that later on in the story this will come back and be important because Leo will finally realize that maybe he's the one that's similar to Stargirl or something like that. Pg.25

# data[].attributes.body
Question answered- Stargirl did end up singing to Hillari. Even though earlier she said she wasn't going to she ended up singing to her at lunch.

# data[].attributes.body
?- I'm surprised Stargirl said she isn't going to sing to Stargirl. She has sang to everybody on there birthday. I wonder why she isn't going to sing to her.

# data[].attributes.body
I can predict that Leo is going to fall in love with Stargirl because at the end of chapter 6, she told him that she thinks he is cute. I think Leo may start to have feeling for Stargirl even though he may not think so now.

# data[].attributes.body
(google eyes)- I thought that this pargraph was really descriptive and I could visualize what was going on at the football game. pg.24

# data[].attributes.body
I think that it was important how after the football game, all of the cheerleaders starting hanging with Stargirl and they suddenly started talking to her. pg. 25
