Books -- reading and writing.
Home, cooking, the weather.
And whatever connections I can make between these chapters of my life.

MAKING FRIENDS WITH BILLY WONG: Discussion Guide

I'm so excited to share the DISCUSSION GUIDE and some fun Extension Activities for my newest book, MAKING FRIENDS WITH BILLY WONG.

It's on my website as well as this blog (under the For Teachers drop-down button)

I had fun creating the "Extension Activities" on the guide. Here's a little sample:


1.     Azalea Morgan worries that the helpers who come to her grandmother’s garden might make fun of her being named for a flowering bush. (p. 39)
Does your own name have a meaning? Try to research the reason you were named that? Can you discover the meaning and origin of your names?








There's also a fun question about Glory and Azalea. 
Hint: Do you think they would be friends?




A HUGE thank-you goes out to former colleague and fabulous teacher, my friend, Melissa Wood. 

If any of my writer buddies are considering creating a Discussion Guide and need a little help, Melissa's the one! I'm happy to share her with you.

(Also, that's not an actual photo of the discussion guide up there. It's the 3-D cover image that I was gifted and love and use every chance I get.)

:)
