Instructional Ideas

  • Have learners act out the story in front of their peers
  • Lead a discussion in which class members decide what they would do in the same situation

Classroom Considerations

  • Based on the edition of the story by Demi, but any version (including a podcast by Stories Podcast) will suffice

Pros

  • Connects well to a discussion on character strength

Cons

  • None
