8. Establishing a Context for Bud, Not Buddy
“Based on the details of this picture and the context of the caption, what do you think the word orphaned means?”
“Orphaned is what we call children who have lost both of their parents.” The word orphaned is the verb form of the word orphan and is related to the word orphanage.
The word-catcher is a tool to collect new words you are learning through the reading and discussion of texts throughout this module. Add the word orphaned to the word-catcher on page 2.

9. The Great Depression Bud, Not Buddy
The time period in which Bud, Not Buddy takes place is called the Great Depression, and it is a period of about 10 years in the 1930s when millions of people in our country were struggling and jobless.
The economy and stock market had crashed; the Midwest, where much of our country’s food is grown, was struck by drought, so farmers lost their crops.
Many took to “riding the rails,” crisscrossing the country in search of work.

10. Chapter 1: Bud, Not Buddy
You will use this novel as a way to launch your next study: “Rules to Live By …”
Much of the same smart thinking and close reading that you learned while reading The Lightning Thief will continue and build in this novel.
Distribute the novels

11. “What do you think this book is about?”
Chapter 1: Bud, Not Buddy
In order to get into the novel, the first chapter will be read aloud as you read along.
First, take a couple of minutes to examine the cover and read the blurb on the back of the book.
“What do you think this book is about?”
“Who is the main character, or protagonist, of the book?” Protagonist - the leading character, or hero, of a story. Who was the protagonist of The Lightning Thief?

12. Read Aloud
If you have questions, you may want to jot them down.

13. Partner Share Discuss with your partner: *Who is Bud?
*What have we learned about him?
*What kind of character is he so far? What evidence from the text makes you think this?

14. Tracking Bud’s Rules
An important component of this novel introduced in Chapter 2 are “Bud Caldwell’s Rules and Things for Having a Funner Life and Making a Better Liar Out of Yourself.” These rules are another way the reader gets to know Bud.
In the next chapter, you will be introduced to some “rules” by which Bud lives his life. These rules provide another window into Bud’s character and past.
The Tracking Bud’s Rules graphic organizer will be used to think, write, and talk about Bud’s rules. Page 3

*“According to their name, what are the two purposes for Bud’s rules?”
Notice that the word “funner” is not an actual word. The use of this word is a use of language that signifies more about the narrator: his young age and lack of consistent education.
*Why might Bud need to learn to be a better liar?
*How is the purpose of becoming a better liar different from the purpose of having a ‘funner’ life?

17. Partner Share
All the “Rules to Live By” will fall into two broad categories: rules to survive and rules to thrive.
*What does it mean to survive?
*What does it mean to thrive?
The difference between them: survive, meaning to “remain alive,” and thrive, meaning to “grow, develop, and be successful.”
Look both ways and listen before crossing the road.
Don’t settle until you have found what you love in work and in personal relationships.
Discuss:
*“Which rule is a survive rule? Which rule is a thrive rule? How do you know?”
Add survive and thrive to your word-catcher.
