CHRYSANTHEMUM BY KEVIN HENKES
Poor Chrysanthemum! She goes to school filled with self esteem and comes home broken when her classmates tease her about her name.
This Kevin Henkes book is a great back to school read, focusing on character education and how to treat others.
CHRYSANTHEMUM ACTIVITIES AND TEACHING IDEAS
Here are some great, literacy based activities to go with this book. This unit of book activities includes LOTS of activities, so you can differentiate to suit your students' learning abilities and needs!
Students will make inferences about what the main characters are thinking. The colored character cards help students define characters and their traits in the book.
Students will make predictions about what may happen in the story. It's fun to go back and see how accurate their predictions were!
Your class will do a character analysis, digging into the character's emotions and actions.
I love reading students' advice for the main character! They can be so creative!
The class book is a great springboard for students to share their about their own names and how their names are unique and special to them. This class book will be sure to be a student favorite in the classroom library!
This book study unit can be used as a whole class activity, during small group guided reading time, as individual student work, or as part of a book club. Copy a pack for each student and you're ready to go!
