Instructional Ideas
- Have kids write a narrative explaining what they would do in the situation
- Consider modernizing the problematic situation; instead of 18th century England, have kids work through the same problem (a missing sister) in modern times with similar constraints
- See if groups can come up with short skits that demonstrate what they would do
Classroom Considerations
- Instructions are worded strangely; rewrite the awkward sentences to make them easier to understand
- Steps in activity are very specific, and kids might enjoy coming up with their own ideas instead
Pros
- Creative way for kids to relate to the text
Cons
- None
