“We can have another day,” I say. “We can have another time when children march in the streets.” Quote from the last page
This book is about a boy named Sami who lives in Lebanon. Sami tells of his life with his family living in his uncle’s basement. While spending all day inside the basement, because it is too dangerous to go outside. He remembers a quiet and safe day at the beach with his sister and grandfather.
I would have my students make comprehension connections to the story and write about happy memorable moment that they had with their family. Using the story as an example of how important details can be to a story, I would focus on the students using more detailed vocabulary. Once my students are done writing, I would have them illustrate their writing and share their story with a partner.
