Summary: |
|
| Each of these five stories focuses on a protagonist with special challenges who is approaching adolescence. As author Steven Kellogg notes on the dust jacket, these stories "bring illumination and enjoyment to those of us who have already passed through" adolescence. | |
Teaching Ideas: |
|
| "The Trust of a Dolphin" is loaded with facts about dolphins that students may want to discuss. The grandson in "Remembering the Movies" has particularly realistic responses. Students could keep journal entries as they read of the stages of understanding. Character sketches would be a good choice for any story. As they read, students may want to compare/ contrast what children in the stories learn. | |
