1. What use is the play if it is already released to the public? You could sell the play for money. And/or preform it to people who don't know about it. 2. On page 40 is it foreshadowing something about Falconer when the author writes... He shrugged, and his hood moved a little, revealing the long scar that traversed his cheek. "Some men will fight over nearly everything". ... This was a hard one. But we thought it might be foreshadowing because the author probably put it in that context for a reason. 3. Does Shakespeare know that some people copy his plays? Probably not. If he knew he would probably punish them and then there might have been more security at the Globe Theatre. Also those consequences might have made the copiers think more about copying the play. But then again they are using a secret language so they might be accused but not able to be found guilty. 4. Wouldn't they get in trouble for using the play? They might change the name and some of the events so they can call it their own. Or like in question 1 they could show it to people who didn't know about the play. There was no piggybacking as far as I'm concerned.

** Discussion Director: Han Kyu ** 1. I had a question about the one of the text writings. ON page 81, it says "First hard labor, now beatings." Well, when did Widge ever do hard labor? Our group thought that it was the cleaning of the theater Widge did all morning.

2. Also, why did Widge lie to the stage members that he wanted to be part of their play? I thought he would have told the truth, because he doesn't like his Master (That was my opinion, but we figured that there was no clear text evidence.), or because he's scared of Falconer.

3. When Widge got hold of the play script and was deciding whether or not to run away with it, he got distracted by Sander. Wouldn't that like decide his fate? If I was trying to decide something, and I got distracted, so that I couldn't do one of my choices, then I wouldn't do it.

== 1) What would you do if you were in Widge's shoes (choose your friends or Simon Bass)? All of us said that we would stay with Sander and Mr. Pope and Mr. Armin but if we did that we would tell the players about Simon Bass.  == == 2) Do you think Nick tries to be mean on purpose? Han Kyu, Adit, Shania, Danielle, and I said yes, but then I told the group that maybe he was mean because he wanted a men's role and Mr. Heminges, Mr. Pope, and Mr. Armin wouldn't let him. They were part of the theater company and so were Widge and Sander, so maybe he was grumpy with everyone who belonged to that group. Nobody agreed with me so we moved onto the next question that I had come up with. == == 3) Do you think what Simon Bass is doing is unfair to shakespeare? If so, why? Once again everyone answered "Yes, because the play is what Shakespeare wrote so Simon Bass should not be able to claim it." ==

This week was very successful there were no piggy backers but there was someone who really stood out and was very good at answering the questions this person was Alexa. The next answers were the agreed answers from the group discussion. This was the first section of the book and I wanted to make sure that everyone new the characters so this is what I said: 1. Who is the main character and what is there name? Everyone agreed on Jade blossom. But there was some confusion that she lives in the Han house. 2. Who is another important character and how is she connected to Jade?Everyone agreed with Willow and that Willow was jade cousin and are just like sisters. Next it was on the big event: 3. What was the main event?Willow got married and left Jade. 4. What did Jade give to Willow, and what is usually put on it, and what did she put on it?A purse woven with silk and had a little bundle of hair that brought back a memory that was in the 1st Chapter. Usually had a chinese sign.

There have been no piggy backers in what I have seen and we're doing good in our post its. 1. How did Jade escape? 2. Did Jade see willow again? 3. What do you think the guard thought of Jade? 4. why didn't the guard believe Jade? This week we had no piggy backers in our group and everyone always participates and does there jobs which is really good. I had four questions that I talked about in my group.
 * Director: Alexa**

1. When jade came back from trying to see Willow from a long way away what did she feel like? We think she had felt sad that Willow would not see her. Also happy to get home from her long day. Jade felt like she was gone for days. 2. Jade asked her mother if cleaning everyones clothes and cooking their meal was good enough of a feeling to live on? We talked about how Jades mom had taught herself and learnt herself that it was all she could live on.t 3. Strangers came into Korea and the king did not want them there so man people said that their heads should be cut off just in case if they were there to spy on their land. Did the strangers ever get their heads cut off? We discussed this and we think that Jade's father did good trying to convince the king not to cut off their heads and to make them soldiers. 4. When Jade went to the house of Lee looking for Willow what did Willow tell the guard to do? Willow told the guard not to hurt Jade but to tell her that she could not see her and that she should leave Today no one piggy backed in our group
 * Director: Anna**

These are my questions that we discussed about... Hollie said "She gave him candies and the ivory ball." we all agreed.
 * 1) How did jade persuade Bear to cooperate with her game of seesaw?

2. What did jade first do to rememder about the mountain? Grace said "Jade drew a picture of the mountain" everyone nod there heads.

3. Did Jade sucseed to sew the mountain on the panel? We all said no to this question but Mrs. H said this question was to easy because the answer is in the book already (it makes sence).

4. Why is this book called seesaw girl? Alexa imediatly said "Because Jade used the seesaw to have a view at the mountain out of the court".
