A PRAIRIE BOY'S WINTER

ACTIVITIES:

1. Think of the things William did on the prairie in the winter of 1930. If you were going to make a similar book which described the highlights of winter life in your community, write what your chapter titles would be? Explain why you chose them in a paragraph.

2. This book describes different happenings in a boy's life on the prairie. Which one essay in the book would you recommend most highly and why would you choose this essay? Explain this in a paragraph.

3. Make a chart called "Winter on the Prairie." Make four columns with the headings: Firsts, Work, Fun, and Dangers. Write each title from the book in the column that best describes its main topic.

4. Think about something you did during a winter season. Make a painting of the activity and write a short description of it, using the same style as the book.
