Post-it Examples from Stone Fox
I think Little Willy is brave and
responsible because he is harvesting the
potato crop by himself and taking care
of his sick grandfather. He is only ten
years old!
I predict that Little Willy will enter the
adult dog sled race because the prize is
$500.00 which is exactly what he needs
to pay the taxes and Searchlight is a
fast racer.

I envision a white blanket of snow on the
ground. Little Willy’s eye is throbbing in
pain and he can barely see in front of him.
He is feeling like he is flying off the ground.
Little Willy needs to earn $500 quick or
the tax collector will take his farm away
and his family will be separated.

Comprehension Check
Why would Stone Fox hit Little Willy
in the barn? He was only looking at
the dogs? Why was he so angry?
Little Willy should win the race. He is so
young and hard working. He needs the
money more than Stone Fox right now.
He needs it to keep his family together.
Questioning the text
Opinion
Little Willy must be feeling overwhelmed
and desperate. I remember when my
grandparents were sick and my parents
had to take care of them. They were
always worried.
Searchlight dropped down. Oh No! I
hope she is okay. What will Little Willy
do without her? Searchlight is his best
friend.
