| An Alter-ego of Your Own?
Don't forget to tell why or why not . . . |
If you had an alter ego, what animal would it be?
What kind of personality would it have? Would it cause trouble? What would it be there to help YOU do? Would you tell your friends about it? Would you like having an invisible alter ego? |
| What've You Got to Prove? | What would you like to prove to other people about yourself? Why? |
| Links to Literature | Here are five books about children who write, or want
to be writers. Read one or more of them aloud Dear Mr. Henshaw by Beverly Cleary, 1983 |
| Writing Poetry | Read Jeff's silly poem about the seasons. Can you write one
that is just as silly?
Maybe you'd rather write a "serious" poem instead. Can you write a poem about the same subject in both ways? Which one do you like best? |
| A Visit from Mortimer | What would Mortimer like about your bedroom if he showed up there?
What would he complain about?
Jeff built a snow cat and gave Mortimer a ride on his radio-controlled car. What kinds of fun would you have with him at your house? What do you think would happen if Mortimer showed up at your house for a day? |
| Did he do it? | Do you think Jeff was making fun of his assignments when he wrote the "Chicken Leaves" theme and the "Froggy Seasons" poem? What makes you think that? |
| Was it fair? | Do you think it if was fair of Mrs. Stokstad to "grade" Jeff's story notebook? Why or why not? |
