Barbara O'ConnorA modern alternative to SparkNotes and CliffsNotes, SuperSummary offers high-quality Study Guides with detailed chapter summaries and analysis of major themes, characters, and more. For select classroom titles, we also provide Teaching Guides with discussion and quiz questions to prompt student engagement.
Use this activity to engage all types of learners, while requiring that they refer to and incorporate details from the text over the course of the activity.
“Wishing”
In this activity, students will make wishes and categorize them.
For a long time, Charlie makes a wish each day, finding numerous ways to do so. Her wish stays the same. Let’s wish. You can choose to have one or many wishes.
o Completely in my control
o Mostly in my control
o Mostly NOT in my control
o Completely NOT in my control
Write a journal about why you chose that category for the wish.
Contemplate what you will share in our discussion. You do NOT have to reveal the whole wish or something personal if you do not want to.
Teaching Suggestion: Since these could be private, mandatory sharing probably won’t work or could lead to students changing wishes. Depending on the class, some students might want to post or share their wishes, so this might be an option. Sharing with a partner or in small groups could be a way to build community without asking students to share full-class.
