Craft Lesson 7: Stuart's Cape

Discussion:
I think that students should exercise their imagination and creativity in the classroom when ever possible. I would want children to exercise their imagination is ways that Stuart did in this book.

How to teach it:
I would take the time to read the book in one class setting to the class. However, if time doesn't allow break it into two or three days. After reading, I have the class discuss different things that Stuart could have imagined that he did with his cape. I would then have my students draw what their cape would look like. After, they know what it would look like I would have them write a few short paragraphs. These paragraphs would describe what the students would do for a day with their magic cape.
