Teaching Ideas: |
This tale could be read in conjunction with other stories about responsibility to our communities. It also could be part of a unit on traveling and home, and teachers certainly could supplement the book with geography lessons. Students might write about their own influential relative. For additional family history titles, see the Family History Matrix. |
