Chapter 1
What problem or wish first makes the animals start thinking about going to Florida, and how do they try to convince one another?
-
Chapter 2
What do Freddy's words and actions in this chapter show about his personality? Use at least one event from the chapter to support your thinking.
Example answer: I think Freddy shows that he is curious and a little bit bold. He does not just accept things the way they are, because he wants to know what might be waiting beyond the farm. He also seems like an animal who can get others excited about an idea. To me, Freddy is brave, but he does not always think about every problem first.

-
Chapter 9
What is one moment in this chapter when teamwork matters? Explain how the animals work together and why it helps.
Example answer: One moment when teamwork matters is when the animals have to solve a problem that one of them could not fix alone. I noticed that each animal has different strengths, so they can help in different ways. Some are better at leading, some are better at noticing danger, and some help keep everyone calm. This shows that the group is stronger when they listen to one another.

Example answer: I think the animals are starting to miss the Bean farm because it is familiar and safe. Even though Florida sounds warm and exciting, traveling has brought them many problems. I predict they will decide to go home because they will realize that adventure is fun, but home is where they belong. They may also miss Mr. Bean and their regular life on the farm.
