Summary:
Two children learn that their family is in danger of losing its farm. They devise a plan for saving it.
Teaching Ideas:
Topics for discussion or writing might include family togetherness in problem-solving or whether "old" ways of life (e.g., family farms or stores) can/ should survive. Students may want to explore the economics of farming or the larger issue of the role agriculture plays in our economy or our lives. A Thomas Locker text set would enable learners to study his art.
