The book's bio, lexile level, and mini lesson is provided in the video.
Was this a good story?
I really liked this story becasue of the message it sent. The moral of this story is that if you have a great idea and want to start something of your own, that you should do it. Despite what other people think of you.
Is the story something I think could really happen?
In the story Wesley grows this plant, that turns into a whole new civilaization. I dont know how likely that is to happen. However, students can have ideas to grow plants and create new things.
How did the main character grow in the story?
The main character, Wesley, started as a boy who everyone found weird. He was the outcast at school. However, when he created Weslandia people were paying to get in, and everyone wanted to be Wesely's friend and a part of Weslandia.
What did the author want to tell me in the story?
I believe he wanted to tell his readers that if they have a good idea and want to create something that should go for it, and not care what others think of you.
Foreshadowing: The story gives hints as the beginning of the text that Wesley will create something bigger then just one plant, and that it will grow into something much bigger than that.
