A Big City Dream
Ms. Kline is from what group
Green Giants support community projects.
Kline said if she could not clean up the place before Sat.
Green Giants would not sponsor her and she would take the key and lock the place up for good
what does luz see when she looks around the lot and you can see the ground
the red tulip in the middle
first she counted 18 bags, now
25
when ms. kline said she had it and chapman did too
3
how many days did she have left to find people to help and to clean up
6
the person that shows up first on the first day
PAPI
Best friend's name?
Rosie
How does Luz feel about her and Rosie's fight?
awful, but not sure how to say sorry.
Luz not sure to say sorry
because she is still mad about their fight.
kline gave her the key even though she did not have enough help
because she thought she was determined enough to get it done
luz did not complain or say how tired she was
because they may think she can't handle the garden
when papi showed up on the first day luz felt
better
after luz counted the garbage bags how did she feel since she was working so hard
blisters on hands, sunburn on nose, aches in strange muscles, but a lot still looks like a junk heap
at noon papi brings
cold juice hot cuban sandwiches from the bodega next door
luz is trying hard to do what to kline
convince her that she is responsible to do the job
bodega
deli?
someone stops by after luz and lorenzo talk about lito's garden and the memories
devonn
How you know she is happy the first morning she wakes up to start the garden
does a dance.
lots of people walk past the garden when they are working and how do they react
don't even notice or offer to help
how did luz respond when kline said she had to get it finished by Sat.
don't worry I will get lots of people to help, she did not give up
Rosie lives
downstairs.
when devonn heard the church bells
eleven, I have to warm up for my game, don't work too hard guys
luz tells kline something to reassure her that she is commited
even though noone else is there, she is very ENERGETIC. She picks up another rake to show her how much she means it.
did she need to do to get the garden finished
find people to help and spend every spare minute working on the garden
by the time she sees 25 bags
most of the small junk was gone
When kline gives luz a smile (grown up pretend friendly smile) after luz explained to her that others would show up it makes luz feel
nervous instead of good.
rosie reacted when she walked past luz
not even looking at luz, she must have still been upset
even though luz's legs so stiff she could hardly get up she reacted by
not wanting to act chicken
type of car Ms. Kline drives
old beat up car
In the morning she grabs
one of mami's rolls.
how much time did kline give luz to clean the garden
one week Sat - Sat
things that are done on the first day by all four people
pick up cans,bottles, raking trash, and shoveling junk into bags.
things were falling out of klines hands when she pulls them out of her car.
rakes fall and she tries to pick up brooms.
what does Kline unload?
rakes, brooms, big plastic bags, work gloves.
she described the red tulip
red flag and says, "You can do it." You can!" Which meant, you can grow now that we have cleaned up the garden
What does she look for in the garden on the first Saturday she started the garden while she waits for Ms. Kline
red tulip is blooming in the middle of newspapers and junk.
she ran to open the gate for rosie because she probably thought rosie was coming to help
rosie does not look at her probably because she is still mad at her for their fight
Kline looks
round and plump. She has wisks of gray hair and she wears a big straw hat with an old sweatshirt and jeans. Shoes full of mud.
when they are working really hard how does luz feel when people walk by the garden, but do not notice or offer to help
sad
she feels when she sees rosie
scared her heart rises straight into her chest.
Most of the characters greet each other by
shaking hands and introducing themselves.
if luz complains kline may think
she can't do the job
kline does something after she says she needs more people
she gives her the key and to papi
did she think she would get more people to help after kline gave her a deadline
she hoped
The first thing Luz does when she wakes in the morning on the first sat. of planting
she runs to her window and does a dance.
How does kline feel about noone being with luz
she stares through her glasses and looks up and down the block. She clears her throat. She seems disappointed and worried "Where is everybody?"
she thought something about rosie when she saw her and her mom
she was excited because she thought she was coming to help after all even though they had a fight
luz reassures kline not to worry about noone being there on the first day how did she react to that
she was worried, but tried not to let line see because she thought she may not help her do the garden.
all of the grown ups on the first day
shake hands.
one word sings in luz's ears that lorenzo said
"we" "we need a garden."

Saturday
kline frowns after she told luz she needed more people luz was glad it was not
a pretend smile
she sees rosie and her mom turn the corner
after she notices the people walking by and not noticing and offering to help.
devonn stops by
after they discuss lito's garden
although luz thought rosie was coming to help, she realized that she was not after rosie did not speak to her
get real she told herself, rosie is not coming to help
devonn was trying hard not to do something so he did not get a lot done
get uniform dirty
when rosie did not speak to luz how she reacted by
getting jealous and saying she is probably on her way to pick up that girl from down the block, then they are going to brunch and to the movies
Luz helps kline by and introduces self by
grabbing the falling rakes and holding out her right hand to shake
how does she feel the morning she wakes up before the alarm rings
happy because it is not a dream anymore.
luz wanted devonn to come back later,
he had to meet Mike
luz felt a certain way when rosie walked right past her without even turning her head
heart falls hard - she was upset
Luz was wondering if Rosie was going to
help with the garden even though she is moving away in July.
someone shows up after luz tries to quit worrying about rosie
her brother lorenzo
rosie was wearing
her favorite denim shirt and a new belt luz had never seen
they fought about
her moving away since it is hard for her to lose Rosie.
lorenzo remembered about lito's garden
how bright the flowers were and that it felt like a magic place and how cool it was
a pretend smile to luz
is not real - she wants her to be real
luz refers to something when she talks about working hard
it is not like in the movies when you start a job and presto!! Two seconds later it is all done.
luz likes having devonn around
jokes and makes the time go faster
which two people decided they were done and tired from all of the work
kline and chapman
the four people that first start working in the garden on the first day
kline, chapman, luz, and papi
she was getting ready to get started again
legs so stiff hardly get up
she works twice as fast
lorenzo is helping
after many hours the jobs getting done
luz - cans and bottles papi-raking trash out of corners kline and chapman - shoveling junk into bags
first person to start back to work after ate
luz - the others followed slowly bec ause they were tired
something made lorenzo think about lito's garden he stopped working to discuss it
luz was talking to mami about her dream garden
even though kline thought she was energetic and they had cleaned up the garden until 3, she still wanted something else
more people
they work without
speaking after they discuss how they need the garden and the memories
devonn watches something
the others pick up bottles and cans,then he parks his catchers mitt and bat inside the fence and helps out
devonn stops by
to see his mom Mrs. Chapman
kline smiles at Luz, but is looking for something when she first meets her
to see who else is with her. Noone else is there.
they don't talk much while they eat
too tired from working
Luz's dream
turn an empty lot in her neighborhood into a veg. and flower garden.
luz reacts after rosie does not speak to her
turning around fast so she won't see she is watching her, and picks up cans and shoves them into the garbage
something assured lorenzo that they were doing the right thing by making the garden how did he feel
we are doing the right thing - he remembers how cool it made him feel and how magical it was
kline gives papi, chapman, and luz something to start working
work gloves and takes out the key from her jeans pocket and opens the padlock to open the gate.
working hard on the garden gets her mind off of
worrying about rosie
after luz said you can do it about the tulip kline reacted and said
you are energetic
