I received a lovely fat package from a class in Washington state a while ago about the projects they did surrounding Mockingbird. Now back from my travels, I finally had a chance to sit down and enjoy everything. Here’s what I found:
–heartfelt letters from Devon to Caitlin (insightful and caring)
–Venn diagrams of the intersection of events and ideas in the book and the play (yes, they did a play, too!!)
–various exercises summarizing chapters, identifying keywords, etc. (smart students)
–paintings (beautiful!)
This is the kind of work every author loves to see. I am so grateful, guys! Thank you!!
Isn’t it wonderful to be reminded in such a charming way why we write for kids?
Absolutely!
This is such a heartfelt gesture….goes a long way.
