Maniac Magee Ch. 14-15 We will read chapters 14 and 15 as a class. While reading, answer the comprehension questions in your packet. Ch. 14 Quickwrite: Has anyone ever called you by a name other than your given name? What is that name? How or why did you earn it? Do you like that name, or would you rather be known by your given name? Justify your answer. Ch. 15 Quickwrite (on same paper): Explain what this quote from Chapter 15 is foreshadowing: “Maniac loved almost everything about his new life. But everything did not love him back. We will then go over the answers to the worksheet. Worksheet Answers: A ping pong table On the steel railroad tracks He is 5’8” tall and weighs 174 pounds He bunted it Because of all the strange things he did around the town What makes Maniac a legend? He is daring enough and talented enough to do things that other kids can’t or don’t. He runs on the steel rail of the railroad tracks. He hits ball after ball that McNab pitches, and he even hits homeruns. At the end of chapter seven, Maniac has knocked the world’s first frogball for a four-bagger. In chapter eight, a list is provided that shows Maniac as a legend. He punted the football back longer than Denehy had ever thrown it, he rescued Arnold Jones, and tattooed Giant John McNab’s fastball for a half a dozen home runs
