Topics for classroom discussion and assignments:

 

• Jean Fritz says, “The world is your home.”  Discuss what she means by this statement.

• Jean Fritz suggests that students should keep a diary or journal, in which they write their reactions to the books they read. Begin a journal like this of your own. (You can also include a section on the movies you see.) Be sure to write what you really feel about these books and movies, not what others would like or might expect to read.
