Description
Susanne Gervay has provided some pages from her published book to be used as a story starter. This program explores relationships, bullying and family dynamics and it provides opportunities to build vocabulary and language features to write a narrative. Students will explore the consequences of decisions, how this can affect character motivation and behaviour and then create their own co-authored book.
