All members are responsible for completing and submitting the Padlet. If you are absent, you STILL NEED TO COMPLETE THAT WEEK’S WORK! Ask your group members to fill you in on missed agenda items

Discussion Highlights/Plot Highlights

- A war going to happen on Earth
- Spender mentioned again
- Sam Parkhill shot a martian

# data[].attributes.body
Most disappointing:
When the Martian and Tomás Gomez could not see what each other were seeing; it showed that they could not relate and connect with one another.

Make a bold prediction. Explain

The people from Earth will not get along with the people on Mars. This is my prediction because usually, new people who come onto land that is not theirs do not get along with the people’s whose land it actually is.

Least favorite character: Spender
My least favorite character is Spender because instead of helping the people from earth and their mission, he turns his back on them and just straight up kills them.

You can discuss the Agenda Topics in your group discussions, but the Meeting Reflections are INDIVIDUAL reflections - each person will have his own different reflections

# data[].attributes.body
Favorite Character:
The Martians (none in particular) because they showed who they truly were and truly expressed themselves.

# data[].attributes.body
Favorite Character:
The grandpa because he was trying to let Belter go to Mars/on the rocket by offering to take his job.

Insert a Gif or series of emojis that best sum up your feelings on the group, book, the sweet new workshop rules, and/or the 1st quarter of your book, and of course, explain

😬🫠🫤
I used these emojis because although the IPads are addicting, they are very useful. For example, it would be easier to do the Padlet in class after instead of doing it at home. Also, in case you do not know the meaning of a word, you can use the IPad to look it up. The book was a little boring but it seems like it will get better as the story goes on.

Logos Appeal:
Captain John Black uses logic to figure out that his “relatives” were not his true relatives and that they were, in fact, martians and not his “relatives”.

# data[].attributes.body
Workshop Class is now an iPad FREE ZONE!! You can use a notebook to jot notes, reflections, thoughts down, and then they can be put onto the Padlet later. Padlet responses don’t need to be in complete sentences.

# data[].attributes.body
Least Favorite Character:
Sam Parkhill because he killed a Martian when it had done nothing to deserve death.

# data[].attributes.body
Least favorite character:
Mr. Teece because unlike the grandpa, he was not only trying to restrict Belter from going to Mars, but he was also trying to kill him as well.

Identify 1 argument the author is making. How is he/she making it? What kind of argument is it. What kind of appeal is he/she using? How effective is it?

One argument that the author is slightly making is that people should not try to conquer another people’s land. If they try to storm onto the land and attempt to harm the other people, there will be lots of fighting and potential casualties.

Pathos Appeal:
When the town on Mars is being described: description of people living in the town and how they live.

# data[].attributes.body
Which one was better - the 1st Trimester book or the 2nd?
For me, the 2nd was far better than my 1st Trimester book, the Log from the Sea of Cortez. There was just more action and it was not as boring as the last book.
