Whirligig - Paul Fleischman

The Heroic Journey - ten day detailed lesson plan with movie, short story, poem and news articles to further engage concepts in Whirligig.

This lesson plan walks carefully through every chapter with a lot of room for students to get into the shoes of the various characters and see the story through their perspectives.  Final project includes designing a whirligig with many links to examples. 

Randon House's Teacher's Guide gives ideas on how to engage this book across disciplines and suggests other books dealing with similar themes of belonging, guilt, forgiveness, and self discovery/coming of age.
