Instructional Ideas
- Have kids examine the situation at the beginning and end of the book, determining whether the plot and events changed their decisions in any way
- Prompt learners to write a persuasive essay to convince the others in their group to either walk for help or fix the plane
- Create a debate where kids on opposing sides can craft their arguments for the class to hear
Classroom Considerations
- Background illustration is unnecessary and can be distracting
- Provides a graphic organizer on the lesson plan page; consider enlarging the chart and putting it on its own page for ease of understanding
Pros
- Engaging for kids who may have a hard time relating to the story
- Promotes critical thinking and collaborative discussion
Cons
- Addresses an event from the plot, but not any of the relevant themes
