Part 1: In Chapter 12 of Maniac Magee, Maniac is willing to say "Hi" to people as he passes them. Even though he does not know these people, he is willing to take a chance to see how they will respond. Have you ever said "Hi" to someone you did not know, or have a conversation in class with someone you do not usually talk to? How did this go for you and how did you feel afterward?

*************************************************************

 Part 2: Draft a friendly letter using Thornton Academy email to send to 10 friends, family members and teachers (NOT Mr. Ney or Ms. Broda!) to say "Hi" to them and ask them to read your blog, become a follower, or post a comment to your work. It might be hard to put yourself out there and ask for feedback, but just like Maniac was able to take a chance, I know you can, too!

    Zach, it would be a good idea to tell your friends and family in the email that they should check the comments section to see your work.

    Also, please make sure you send me a copy of the email so I can grade you! Mr. Ney can show you how to send it to many people at once if you don't already know how to.
