Topics for classroom discussion and assignments:

• Eve Bunting uses newspapers to find some of her best story ideas.  Select an article of interest in the newspaper — and then write a story about a person in the article.

• Eve Bunting says she has always been fascinated by gargoyles. Do research on gargoyles, draw a gargoyle, name it, and write a story about your gargoyle and what his or her life is like.  

• Alternate: Can you name something you’ve read about (like gargoyles, a type of car, an animal or bird, butterflies, etc.) that fascinates you? Research it and write an essay on it.
