CHAPTER 14 CORRECTION: If I wrote information that you don't have, add it to your sentence. 

1) Describe Norbert the Dragon.

It wasn’t pretty. It looked like a crumpled, black umbrella. Its spiny wings were huge compared to its skinny jet body and it had a long snout with wide nostrils, stubs of horns and bulging, orange eyes.

2) Who is his owner?

The owner of Norbert the Dragon is Hagrid.

3) Why is the owner keeping him a secret?

Hagrid is keeping Norbert a secret because breeding dragons is illegal.

4) Copy Charlie’s letter to Ron.

Dear Ron,

How are you? Thanks for the letter – I’d be glad to take the Norwegian Ridgeback, but it won’t be easy getting him here. I think the best thing will be to send him over with some friends of mine who are coming to visit me next week. Trouble is, they mustn’t be seen carrying an illegal dragon.

Could you get the Ridgeback up the tallest tower at midnight on Saturday? They can meet you there and take him away while it’s still dark. Send me an answer as soon as possible.

Love, Charlie

5) What happens at the end of the chapter?

At the end of the chapter they send Norbert the Dragon away safely, but Filch discovers them because they forgot the Invisibility Cloak up in the astronomy tower.

2) PERSONALITY TEST

Take this test. You are going to discover what are your strongest intelligences. Then, look at the graphics.

PERSONALITY TEST

Comment! What are your TOP TWO intelligences? Where did you get the lowest percentage? Do you agree? Example:

VVP

My top two intelligences, according to the test, are MUSICAL and NATURALIST. I got a very low percentage for LOGICAL intelligence. I don’t agree with the test. I think LINGUISTIC is my strongest intelligence, because I love learning languages.
