The book was about school.

Answer the questions.
1. How might Margie feel when she saw a “real book”
She might feel curious and excited.
2. Were the children familiar with “real” books How can you tell
The children weren't familiar with “real” books. We can tell from their reactions and conversations. Tommy thought it was a waste since you had to throw it away after reading, and they were surprised that the words on the pages stood still instead of moving across a screen.
1. Do you want to go to a school like Margie's Why or
why not
Think and Share
Yes and no. I think it would be convenient to study at home. I could spend more time learning difficult subjects. However, I would miss my classmates and teachers.
2. What do you think schools will be like in 50 years
Learning to think for question 2 To make smart predictions about future schools, you need to consider the development of technology and social changes.
Think and Share
I think schools will use lots of technology. Students will use both screens and books, and they will watch videos to learn. Sometimes, they may study at home, and there may be robot teachers to guide them.
