Week #1 Discussion Director Questions How do you think the family’s savvies influence their life physically and emotionally? I think their savvies affect them physically because it could injure their family members or friends. If it's a friend, they might not ever forgive them for what they've done. (Kaitlyn) I think it might effect the world like for example Grampa Bomba could have move every thing around where he wanted it like put China by the United Kingdom (U.K). (Evan)

How would the characters justify using their savvies in real life? Fish could justify plants and crops because he could make it rain and their food supply could be well again. (Kaitlyn) Rocket could just use his savvy to power power staions power. (Evan)

What would happen if Mib had a very powerful savvy come out at the party? I think all of the people would freak out, and leave. They might make fun of her whenever they get the chance to. (Kaitlyn) Everyone might go CrAzY when it came out. (Evan)

What savvy do you think she has? Why? I think she has the power to bring people back from the dead, or wake things up. I think she does because in the book she said that she was the one who needed to wake up her Dad. I know mibs has the power to wake up or put people to sleep. (Evan)

What is the value of keeping their savvies secret? So people don't actually know that they have these. Others might think it's straight out odd...(Kaitlyn) So if people do find out they would be weird about it. (Evan)

Predict the outcome of the family’s savvies being revealed. Why? I think Mibs is going to reveal her savvy because she might not be able to handle the stress of keeping it a secret. (Kaitlyn)

(Aidan) Question #1 I think they effect them physically because they could hurt somebody they love. (example) Fish could start a hurricane and make a tree fall on someone. Question #2 Rocket would justify his powers by helping power companies nvr run out of energy. Mibs could use hers at a nursing home to wake people up. Fish could use his to wash things. Question #3 I think that everybody would bug there family. The press would be there all the time. Question #4 I think she has the power to wake things up/ bring back the dead. Question #5 They wouldn't be stressed by everybody that wants to know what they are. Question #6 I think that Mibs is going to reveal the secret because she just got her power and can't control it.

(Aidan) She doesn't really have elegance like other adults rather than kids.(Kaitlyn)

5. 138: Why do you think Lill is acting like Momma, so helpful? She feel obligated to help the children in need. Also because none of the other people on the bus were taking charge of that task.

(Manessa) I think he is just really shy(bradley)
