Activity Overview


Say’s beautiful illustrations in the book are also paired with rich language. The language is simple, yet elegant. In this activity, students demonstrate their understanding of adjectives by finding textual evidence in the story. Students will compile a list of adjectives that Say uses in the text to help the reader make a picture in their mind. Using a spider map, the students will add the text with the adjective and then illustrate what they see when they hear the phrase.


Phrase from Text: gaping windows

"They peered into gaping windows of empty houses with not a single piece of furniture inside."
