W.W. JacobsA modern alternative to SparkNotes and CliffsNotes, SuperSummary offers high-quality Study Guides with detailed chapter summaries and analysis of major themes, characters, and more. For select classroom titles, we also provide Teaching Guides with discussion and quiz questions to prompt student engagement.
Use this activity to engage all types of learners while requiring that they refer to and incorporate details from the text over the course of the activity.
In this activity, students will develop skits about other wishes that the Whites could have made and explore potential outcomes.
In this activity, you will write and perform a skit showing alternate wishes that the Whites could have made, and how the story could have been different.
Teaching Suggestion: This activity connects to the theme of The Dangers of Wishful Thinking. It will also allow students to apply their understanding of the characters by putting them in alternate situations. Students can work in groups of 2-4 for this activity, or they can work individually to write their own script without performing it.
