You met all of the requirements. Make sure you're capitalizing words!!! (And do not blame autocorrect - you need to take the time to reread your posts and make corrections as needed.

Great start. I think you had all of the pieces, but your wordings weren't very clear. Mrs. McKichan and you guys had to translate your post for me. I want you to work on punctuation and capitalization. You didn't do the quote for #1.

I loved this! You had minor punctuation errors (apostrophes), but the rest was solid. When you did the similarities and differences, I wanted to know WHY those would be it. Why couldn't he sign up for the throw? When they moved, where would they move to? Push beyond the minimum, please.

1. Our story takes place in the British Colony of Pennsylvania a long ways away from any civilization (Back of the book).

We think that it was great that you answered all of the questions but next time, you could maybe try to use more detail.

Gentlemen - Capitalize and punctuate! You KNOW how to do this. For #2 you're supposed to find context clues. #4 isn't really an answer. I'm hoping for more effort in future posts, boys.

You met all the requirements, so that'll give you time to practice using the Shift key for form capital letters. (Hint... hint...)

I'm confused about your differences - there would be less farm land in Adams? We're a farming community. There'd be more traffic in Adams? How?! Where would Abby go for treatment? What team would they cheer for? There's more to your story than just farmland and traffic.

You met the requirements, but you weren't quite specific enough. For example, what did El Grande play? Where would Carlos work? Why would the ground be flatter? Those things...

1) Absolutely Normal Chaos takes place in their home most of the time. On page 35 it says, “All of these towns have a community pool, and since we live in Easton, we go to the Easton pool.” Also, on page 80 it says, “We all went on a picnic today to Windy Rock, a park about ten miles from Easton.” On page 8 it says, “Beth Ann and I live on the farthest edge of the school district, at least two miles from school.” Page 4 it says, “My name is Mary Lou Finney. I live at 4059 Buxton Road in Easton, Ohio.”

I had no idea that Jesus talked to Megan in the book;) (Reread your paragraphs to see what I'm talking about.) Your answer for #1 was perfect! Watch your capitalization...

You met all of the requirements. Your reason for present-day being cars and gas stations doesn't really work because both of those have been around since the 1920s. Also pay attention to your capitalization.

Your evidence pieces were amazing! When I read your third and fourth answers, I feel like you focused on the time (2008 vs 2019) and forgot about the Adams vs book location. Overall, this was a phenomenal post!

You have solid evidence for #1, but you needed to quote (basically copy) the actual sentences from the page and put quotation marks (" ") around the sentences you take from the book. Remember that for future blogs.

Is it three weeks or three years? Your comment says three weeks, but your evidence says three years. You missed the quotation marks (" ") in your first quotes. I loved your differences. Wish you'd have capitalized when needed, but...
