Topics for classroom discussion and assignments:

  • Earth Day Projects:

  1. Jean George says, ”Eskimos use everything.” Research this concept. What are some examples?

  2. The author says, “America is a wasteful society,” but conservation is something we have to learn to do. The class will brainstorm two lists. One list is made up of ways in which America is a wasteful society. The second list should give ways we can change these habits.

  • Jean George says the most unusual thing in her house is a bullfrog. Write about the most unusual thing in your home.

  • Jean George says that life is meeting problems head-on and solving them. Write an essay on a problem you have had to face, different solutions you have contemplated, and how you solved the problem.

  • Collect pictures of your family and make a collage of the pictures, which can tell a family history 

  • Jean George writes about the rainforest and the tundra. Compare and contrast both environments, giving benefits and negatives for reach.
