The Grand Finale: Part 4

We continued working on answering the questions we had generated. 

We used Linda Ashman's website to discover some of the answers related 

to the creation of the book, the author's process and the central

theme.

Some of the "thicker" questions we looked at:

"Why is the book called rain?''

Why is the title only one word?

Why are there only a few words as text?
Why did the author call it the Rain/Shine café?
Why did the author write this book?

After looking at Linda Ashman's website and some whole group discussion 
students were placed in small groups and given a question to discuss.

Some of the  thoughts from students:

As you can see students figured out the central theme of the story!!!

Stay tuned for additional activities and story writing related to 

"Rain" by Linda Ashman.
