Instructional Ideas
- Have class members participate in a reader's theater
- Prompt readers to write about their own experiences asking parents for permission to do something, leading to a longer narrative essay
- For a persuasive essay, turn the question about doing the right thing into a longer writing assignment in which writers argue about which character was right in their actions
Classroom Considerations
- Script is three pages long, which would make it difficult to include in an assessment or individual activity
- Some of the worksheets are in color
- One question asks learners which character did the right thing; try to frame this question as a chance to offer an opinion or persuasive answer
Pros
- Comes with a worksheet that includes a section for comparing details, as well as two comprehension questions
Cons
- The script formatting is strange and could confuse readers
- Some wording is difficult to understand; you may need to focus on context clues for a few of the lines
