Week 5 Discussion Question

Your journey with My Name is Maria Isabel has come to an end, I hope you enjoyed it. I want you to spend some time reflecting on the book. Think about the characters, the culture, the main events in the story, what did you enjoy most about the book? Was there anything you didn't like about the book? What did you think about the way the story ended? Was there anything you wish would have happened that didn't?

Please use specific details from the story to support your thinking. Be honest about your feelings and thinking, this is your time to reflect on your book.

  1. I did not like it at all when Maria Isabel tripped and the whole class laughed at her, it made me sad. I did like it when Maria was finally called Maria and was in the winter pageant. I thought the end was great because everything worked out and Maria was so happy! :)

  2. What I enjoyed about the book is how the author changes your perspective about the teacher because in the beginning you see the teacher like this horrible evil person. After Maria writes this my greatest wish paper and the teacher reads the paper and grants both of Maria’s wishes which Were to be called Maria Isabel Salazar Lopez the other wish was to have a part in the Winter Pageant. After her teacher grants both those wishes you finally find the good side in her teacher. Which I love because there is a good side in every one but some peoples good sides are harder to find than others. There were really no parts that I really did not like in the story because every part has a some kind of meaning in the story like when the teacher kind of jumped to conclusions for the Maria not wanting to be in the Winter Pageant if she did not jump to conclusions she would not of wrote the part about wanting to be in the Winter Pageant of her my greatest wish paper and you would of not the seen the good side of her teacher. The only part that I wish happened would be that she built a snowman with her family or anyone in her story because it would have told you more about Maria’s family so you could learn more why Maria has her nice personality because you mostly get your personality from your family because you spend most of your time around them.

    3. I totally agree on how in the beginning you saw this evil mean teacher. But she wasn't. And about your question it made me sad because she was being bullied.

  3. What I loved about the book is that she was finally called Maria not Mary. No there was nothing I did not enjoy about the book because I loved the book it was the best Multi-Cultural book ever. I liked that the book ended on a song, I thought that was cool. There was nothing I would wish to happen.
