> Some questions are 'no wrong answer' or sketch style responses - to encourage independent thinking and creative engagement.
> Extended writing activity has four topics to select from. Each has many 'starter questions' to get students' ideas rolling.
> Use of the extended response/essay activity may add 1-4 days, depending on length and formatting requirements of the teacher.
> Character graphic organizer is specific to the story, not generic.
> Story review form AND plotline graphic organizer are career-long re-usables (can be reused with no changes for stories, books, film, and epic poetry).
> Themes: identity, search for belonging, self-reflection, communication
