Extended Writing
Teacher's Editions and Leader's Guides include suggestions for writing after Shared Inquiry Discussion.
These writing prompts encourage students to explore the story's meaning and ideas beyond the strict boundaries of interpretation. Creative writing activities offer an opportunity for students to play with imaginative variations and possibilities suggested by the story. Personal essays ask students to reflect on their own experience in light of the ideas and themes of the story. Evaluative essays engage students in a broader dialogue with the text in which they ask themselves whether they agree with the ideas presented.
