I love so much the essay they're doing right now...
We finished readingThe Phantom Tollbooth. At the end of the book the main character, Milo, runs into the Demons of Ignorance. So I have each kid choose the demon which they feel that affects their life the most. They have to illustrate it, then write me a three paragraph essay. First, tell me how the author describes the demon and what it does. Then, how the demon affects their day to day life and keeps them from wisdom. Last, they have to say how they can change their actions to defeat this demon.
