One step at a time...


In the book "A Long Walk To Water", Salva uses his uncle’s strategies to help guide him through much of his life. He constantly reminds himself to manage things ‘bit by bit, one step at a time’.  


How might Salva’s philosophy help you in your life? Give some examples of when you might need to take things one step at a time.

I could use this step for stuff like hiking. When i'm hiking I get tired. It would help me finish the trail step by step. While i'm hiking I stop at Starbucks for a snack. Eventally I will make it back home.

Telling myself to take things step by step will help me when I am playing the recorder. It will help me get through note by note, learning the different ways how to tongue and finger. It will also help when I am taking my hip hop class. I will learn each move one by one. It will also help when I get frustrated.

Nina said...

One step at a time will help me play soccer, basketball, my homework, clean my room, and do the things that my mom tells me to do. Getting ready in the morning, brushing my teeth, my hair, feeding my fish, cat and dog one step at a time, makes stuff easier.

ALIVIA said...

He would help me in basketball step by step by step like when I did not know how to shoot when I was little and I said I don't want to do this anymore I think he would say like if you shoot 5more baskets we would be almost done.

Ryan said...

It helps me do things one step at a time. Like sports. It also helps me do other things. A Long Walk to Water is a good book. It incorages me to do things I might not have done.

Charlotte said...

It will help me get through everything in life. I will remember how Salva's uncle told him that he would make it through the desert. I will also remember that Salva did make it through the desert. It will help me gain confidence in my life. Another thing I will remember when I think about A Long Walk To Water is that things will be hard as I go through life, but staying confident will make things easier.

It would help me in sports. It will also help in the global reading challenge,'' one book at a time.''. It will also help in hiking to finish the trai leven if I get tired out. It will help me in karte. It will even boost my confidence.

The one step at a time will help me with science fair project,volleyball, chores, soccer, swimming, basketball, singing, and P.E. For example, in finishing a science fair project, there could be a lot of work to do and I could feel that I am giving up, but I can remind myself that I can take it one step at a time. So, I can break the tasks down and do my research first, then collect my materials I need, and finally build my project. So, it is really important to take one step at a time when finishing up a big project or other activites to get them done.

Richa said...

The strategy that Salva's uncle used with Salva has helped me a lot in my life. It has helped me in long days which seems to be one
of my worst days. It also helps me in sports like basketball. There are also other ways that this strategy could help other people, like if you have a very hard science project and it is very long you might say that you will only go to the point till you finish the hypothasis or something like that.That is how the step by step strategy can help me and others.

Awesome Andrew said...

I would use the step by step method to get through life. For like when clean my room, I will do it step by step. I will do half and half, and eventually I will get it done. The step by step method always helps me no matter what.

Lauren said...

The way I would use the step by step method is to get through life and probably to clean my room and mabie to help a friend if they really need it.

Kai said...

it will help me in soccer when it it snowing or hailing. Biking long distances will also tire me out. Saying "One step at a time" will help me. I have used that strategy before. Like when my sisters and I had to clean up the house. We took it one floor at a time

Adam said...

I use the one step at a time method when I help my mom cook.I also use the method when I play soccer.I use the method when I do my homework and kumon.It helps me read slow and also it will help me get answers for the the globle reading challange.I also use the one step at a time method when I go to sleep.Those are the things I use the one step at a time method for.

james said...

It will help me in my soccer club baskball and a few anthoer sports. And get better at KUMON. And get faster at my work. And try to run faster.

Ibrahim said...

It helped me learn, to do things step by step and to have patients. I also learned how it was like without water. I learned that it was really hard for the people because they would have to walk many miles to get to water.

Uh, who's Salvia? I didn't get back from vacation early enough to read that book. I missed the entire thing! From what information I can get from other blogposts, i'm supposed to find out why and when I could use a step-by-step method in life. Just guessing. Lets hope i'm right... here goes nothing!


A step by step process would help while playing piano,
1) read and think about the notes.
2)Play the notes in rythmn.
and so on and so forth. It would also help me in sports, like soccer for example,
1) Dribble downfield.
2) Shoot on goal.
3) Just keep trying
Those are just two examples of a step-by-step process.

Salva's philosophy will help me in reading so I can read more and read bigger books. I will go step by step :

1)I will read 30min. Then I will read 40min. and then 50min. And so on.
2)When I see a word I don't know I will write it down on a piece of paper and then look it up in the dictionary.
3)I will read whenever I have free time for example recess and/or on the bus.

laura said...

he helped me lern to go slowly. go step by step.In soccer i go step by step to get a goal.In basket ball i go step by step to get a basket.going step by step makes stuff easy.

ALIVIA said...

I think it would help me in hiking because i go hiking alot with my grampa and i get so tierd and he is walking a head of me and it is embarassing because he i like are you coming? So like in the book how salva uncoal helped salva walking like him telling him just go to that rock then go to that tree and he would do it the hole way there so maybe that would help me.

lauren said...

One step at a time have you ever wondered what one step at a time acioally means? Anyway lets get back on the subgect.the way the saying one step at a time helps me is well when I'm doing my homework.

matthew s said...

The saying one step at a time will help me walk through things. For example, building my science fair project,or walking. It will help me getting through through tough tough times.

matthew s said...

( The one before this is unfinished) additionaly,solving a hard math problem.This will also help me in playing tennis or doing the blog.

Nina said...

One step at a time, will help me slow down and not rush through things. Remembering to go step by step will help me in my sports. It will help me in soccer, and basketball. It will also help me in the morning getting ready for school, like brushing my teeth, and hair, and helping with breakfast. This will also help me with feeding my pets, it makes stuff easier going one step at a time.

Tristan said...
