I know you all are wondering what the smart and interesting ladies and gent from Team 2 think about the book Hugo Cabret...this blog post is coming to you LIVE from the Hugo Cabret discussion:
1) Why do you think the author placed the text and pictures the way he did?
The author wanted the book to have a cinema feel...like you are watching a movie. It also served as a way to convey emotions, and to keep the story moving when pictures would be more effective than text
2) Why do you think he drew the pictures the way he did (pencil drawings/black and white)?
The black and white conveys the silent 1930s movie style and pencil drawings can focus on details.
3) What age group would use this in the class?
4th, 5th
4) What do you think the picture on pg. 505?
NO IDEA
5) How do you think Hugo's Uncle died?
Got drunk and fell into the river and drowned; got into a bumfight
6) What do you think happened to Hugo's Mom?
Died during childbirth, ran away, was institutionalized early on
7) Can you relate to the book?
Can relate to the fighting spirit, could relate to the way Hugo blocks out painful memories, Matt can relate to doing projects with his dad.

I was in Monica's group and our group discussion was really interesting. We thought at the end that maybe because the title of the book is the invention of hugo cabret because he was invented in this book and that the automaton was Hugo Cabret. Since the last paragraph of the book said that he created an automaton that wrote these words that was the book.
