•"Tree" project assigned by Mr. Freeman
•Melinda views the subject of her art project as "easy"
•As we start reading "The Second Marking Period" over the weekend and next week, we will see Melinda and her tree project grow and become much more complicated.
•"Tree" is printed 5 times in "The First Marking Period" & discussed more specifically two more separate times - it is our jobs as readers to find the deeper meaning...
A tree is a plant that has many different forms. Trees show a variety of formations- including different leaf type or shape or bark characteristics. Consists of roots, branches, trunk, leaves, etc...

“Mr. Freeman: You are getting better at this, but it's not good enough. This looks like a tree, but it is an average, ordinary, everyday, boring tree. Breathe life into it. Make it bend - trees are flexible, so they don't snap. Scar it, give it a twisted branch - perfect trees don't exist. Nothing is perfect. Flaws are interesting. Be the tree."
Because of their shape – a central trunk with branches like arms and fingers, bark like skin – trees lend themselves to identification with the human form.
We can compare trees and humans easily in how they look. However, we can also compare the way trees grow and die to the human life as well.
