1.  Summarize the movie so far in your own words. 

     Akeelah is a girl who seldom go to school because she feels isolated in the class. However, she gets 100 points in the vocabulary test. It is because that she likes to play spelling games when she in her leisure time.  As a result, her teacher suggests she participate in the spelling bee. At first, she refused because she think her classmate will laugh at her. Nevertheless, she participated and won first place. After that, she has to find the professor to be her coach to help her win the region's spelling bee. However, they had a fight. Luckily, she still get the qualification to go to Washington,DC.

2.  What are some observations that you notice in the movie so far?  

  - about Akeelah or another character in the movie
  - about Akeelah's family
  - about Akeelah's school and community
  - about English and spelling

      Akeelah is a smart girl who can remember lots of words which I think is quite difficult for me. However, due to the region she lives and the interaction between classmates, she is afraid of standing on the stage and be a competitor of the spelling bee. Nevertheless, she has a nice brother who encourages her to do that. As a result, she participated in the spelling bee. Moreover, I think she will be the champion in Washington, DC.
