Activities, Amusement, and Study Checkup for Homeschool  Students and Teachers

 

Why is 1777 meaningful today?
    
  This book's characters are the same "smart kid,"                     "neighborhood bully," and "girl next door" that exist           today. Plus, they have the same worries: pandemic                and parents!


I will put the Study Guide up for download, but only if I receive a personal email requesting it. Just checking whether anyone is interested. (BTW: enough interesting additional material to amuse adults!)

In this study guide you'll find:
      One paragraph precis of each chapter (for a teacher who forgot to read it)
      Historical timeline for events outside of those in the            book
      Actual events in Danbury at same time as the chapter    title (Did you notice chapter titles refer to time of the real-life action?)
      Short tests of reading comprehension
      A quotation to explain 
      Three questions about motivation or which relate the     book's action to present-day happenings and conditions

Last item: a section called "Fun Stuff," which may or may not be fun!
