Activity Overview
In this activity, students will be provided a question or prompt to answer using textual evidence. The prompt here is: “How do characters show perseverance in the text?”
This type of activity is perfect for providing students with an additional option for short answer essays, or a way to prepare for larger writing projects. Students who may benefit from creating visuals can opt for this rather than handwriting a paragraph.
The five examples provided are:
- The more questions the narrator asks of the prince, the more he learns about his new friend.
- In order to tame the fox, the prince has to keep showing up and keep working hard to gain the fox’s trust.
- Without completing his journey, the prince wouldn’t have learned all that he needed to know.
- Without wandering far and long in the desert, the prince and the narrator would not have found the well.
- Without sticking to his repair job, even when it looked completely hopeless, the narrator wouldn’t have been able to fix his plane.
