Escaping+the+Giant+Wave



In __Escaping the Giant Wave__, Kyle and his family take a vacation to Oregon. While in Oregon, his parents spend an evening on a cruise for work and Kyle must babysit his sister Bee Bee. When a massive earthquake hits the town, the hotel Kyle and Bee Bee are staying in catches on fire and it's up to Kyle to save them. Once out of the hotel, he and Bee Bee decide to move inland and uphill in case a tsunami follows the earthquake, but his parents are still stuck on the cruise out at sea.

Based on what you've researched about tsunamis, make a prediction about what you think might happen to Kyle's parents. Will they be safe at sea, or are they in an even more dangerous position than Kyle and Bee Bee?

After you read chapter 8, answer the following questions. Did what you read support or disprove your prediction? Which part helped you know if you were right or wrong?

what helped me that l was right was because l know what tsunamis do to you and also because l write that hes parents were ganna get saved and et pulled out or something.So l was right. By:Maryan M.

Well I think that Kyle's parents are safer because they are farther behind the tsunami. Kyle and BeeBee are in front of it so there is a chance that they could get hit. My prediction is that Kyles parents might go under water but probabally not. But if they do they will get pulled out or swim out because they are also main charactors. I was partly wrong because they don't go under water like I thought they were going to. I was partly right because I said they might go under but probabaly not and they didn't. __Srikruthi__

I think that Kyle will be safer than his parents. My prediction is that Kyle's parents will get washed away by the tsunami and the boat will sink, it is bad to be at sea when a tsunami hits. It didn't say anything about their parents drowning so it is wrong. The captain said to go farther out to sea to be safer. - Alice
