| Craft ideas: |
| • |
Re-write the story from Annie's point of view. What would you have done?
|
| • |
Make an open-book cutout placemat, and in it draw or write what you would say to the people who threw the brick or burned the church if you had the chance.

*Note: These craft ideas are just suggestions.
You can use them, but you don't have to use them.
You can expand upon them, or add your own twist.
Remember, though, that the focus of your time should
not be on the development and execution of a craft;
the focus should be on the read-aloud and the
enjoyment of the book!
