I really liked this book. I think that it would be a very interesting book for students to read and learn from.
ReplyDeleteOne activity I would do was to write about a time they were told something and then in time were proven differently.
Another activity I might do with students was to have them decorate their own scarecrow since most people are afraid of them, this would be to teach students that being afraid is just your perception of the item.
