Metacognition Notebooks
Sept. 9
Today when I was reading Shiloh I was excited and worried at the same time. I was excited that Marty had Shiloh hidden in the woods so he'd be safe from Judd and he was having a chance after supper to go see him. I was happy, scared and worried at the same time. I kept waiting for his parents to wonder why he was heading up to the woods and follow him. Or I worried that one of the girls would follow him and then he'd be in big trouble.
I was relieved when he was done feeding Shiloh and he was heading back down the hill. Then just as quickly, I was scared again! When Marty was going back down the hill he hears Judd's truck and I just knew he was going to stop and ask Marty where Shiloh is! Judd is so mean, I am really scared for Marty.
I can understand how Marty's heart is beating so fast when he is lying to Judd and saying he hadn't seen Shiloh in his yard all day. Once when I told a lie I was sure my heart was going to beat right out of my body, and I was shaking.
I was relieved when Judd left but I don't think Marty will be able to keep Shiloh a secret for very long.
The word I didn't know was slump. The sentence is on the other side of the meadow I slump down in the grass to rest. Shiloh's all over me, licking my face sloppy wet. I know that he is down in the grass and that Shiloh can reach his face. So I think slump means to slouch down in a relaxed way.

The Sharp Wits - The Case of the Vanishing Quotation Marks
http://www.mediaincorporated.com/html/sharp_wits_qoutation_marks.html
Quotation Marks are used before and after the spoken words.
"Do you want a banana split?" asked the Chef.
The girl yelled, "I'm hungry!"
"I am having lunch!" growled Sam.
Avery said, "I like cheese pizza."
