Valuing each other.

For the remainder of class today, we are going to start an activity about names.

I am going to begin with an excerpt from a story.

Think About It

1. In the beginning of the story, how did Chrysanthemum feel about her name?
2. What changed when she started school?

​

3. How did the story end?

Preparing for Tomorrow

Tomorrow in-class you are going to write about your name.

For homework, start to consider the questions to the right. You may choose ANY of these to write about.

Questions:

1. Share why your parents picked your name.
2. Share history about your name or what it means.
3. Write a fictional tale inspired by your name (like Chrysanthemum).
