Culminating Task Re-Read, Think, Discuss, Write: Pablo and Desmoana had something in common. They both liked to brag and show off. Write a paragraph to explain how bragging and showing off impact both Pablo and Desmoana? What lesson should they learn?” Use details from the text and class discussion to support your answer. Answer: Pablo bragged all over the neighborhood about making a nose to enter in the New Nose Now contest. Since Desmoana Lowry was jealous of Pablo because he beat her in the tulip drawing contest, she stole the nose so that Pablo wouldn’t have the opportunity to win another contest. If Pablo had been quiet instead of bragging all around the neighborhood, Desmoana would never have known anything about his nose. Pablo realized his mistake and even called himself a blockhead. When Encyclopedia Brown began investigating and questioned Desmoana about her purple bicycle, Desmoana lied and said she hadn’t ridden her bicycle in a year. Knowing that Desmoana was a show off, Encyclopedia challenged her about being able to ride a two wheel bike. She fell for the trap and quickly began to ride her bicycle showing off by doing all kinds of tricks. This allowed the detectives to ascertain that Desmoana was the thief! Pablo and Desmoana should have learned that bragging and showing off can lead to negative consequences. Additional Tasks Authors use vivid words to write interesting stories instead of using tired over-used words. Provide all the vivid synonyms the author used in the story for the word “said”. The author used the following synonyms: wailed, muttered, pleaded, demanded, retorted. How do these words affect the story?
