A Community of Readers


One District-One Book Postscript, February 11, 2011:

Our "Princely Party" on February 9 was a terrific event! We had over 90 participants who played Little Prince Jeopardy, designed royal postcards, created magnificent crowns, flew paper airplanes through the desert and planted very special flowers. After the activities, we gathered in the Palos South Commons to distribute raffle prizes and view videos showing student projects. Many thanks to everyone who participated in this One District-One Book Community Reading Project!

Our chapter activities, podcasts and quotations will remain online in this blog for everyone to enjoy and for other schools to use or adapt. Please take some time to view our student projects on our district website.

Chapter 14

Chapter Podcast by Mrs. Shelley Mulchrone, Palos East Assistant Principal

Chapter Quote:
"There is nothing to understand...orders are orders."

Think & Read:
What responsibilities do you have in life?  Are you faithful to them?  Do you agree with the statement, "There is nothing to understand...orders are orders."  Why or why not?

Optional Activities:
1)  What kind of job would you like to have someday?  Research this job.  What do you have to do to prepare for this job?
2)  Make a collage of jobs you think are important.
3)  List the WOW or PURPLE words you find in this chapter.  WOW or PURPLE words demonstrate good word choice, one of the 6 Traits of good writing.
