Hello 6th Graders, 
          I hope you have all had a great week, and that you enjoyed learning about conflict. I miss you all, and I want to remind you to work hard for Mrs. Lyng. 
          I am excited to introduce you to little Micah Robert Trumble. He entered this world on Sunday morning at 9:55, and his Mom and I couldn't be any happier! I've already told him all about you guys, and he wants me to tell you that in life, it is important to be smart, but it's even more important to be kind. 
          I hope that you enjoyed reading the climax of Freak the Mighty.  I am amazed that Max could stand up to his father like that. In the Man vs. man conflict between Max and his father, I'd say that Max won!!!! However, I wonder if he will be able to deal with the man vs. self conflict between himself and the way he feels about himself. I can't wait to hear your thoughts on the climax, as well as the falling action. You guys are going to love the end of the book. Some of you might even cry a little. 
        I look forward to seeing you all again in a few weeks. Until then, work hard, be respectful, be responsible, and make sure that whenever possible: Be Kind to each other!

Activity #1
Individual Work
Identifying Conflicts

STANDARDS:

2. give an example of each type of conflict within the text Freak the Mighty.

Directions:

Part 1 - You must work independently to answer questions 1 - 6. Write the type of conflict on the line provided. 

Remember:

"Person vs Person" is the same thing as "Man vs Man"

"Person vs Nature" is the same thing as "Man vs Nature"

"Person vs Society" is the same thing as "Man vs Society"

"Person vs Self" is the same thing as "Man vs Self"

When you are done you may pick up a copy of the Cornell Notes for chapter 22 & 23 and begin working on them until everyone is done.
