Amanda Frankenstein is crazy about insects. When her brother catches them, she sets them free. It doesn’t matter what color, shape, size, or type the insect is; she loves them all. She even loves it when she gets mosquito bites and looks for them wherever she goes. She even turns on her lights and opens the window at night to welcome the insects into her room. On the first day of school, she wore a shirt that said “Amanda Frankenstein: Friend of Bugs”. Unfortunately, when Amanda got to school she realized people in her class didn’t enjoy bugs quite as much as she did. Her classmates laughed at her and she was always getting in trouble. With the rest of the school year left, will Amanda be able to connect with at least one of her classmates?
After reading this book to the class, I would have them draw a picture and write an informational paragraph that explains one of their hobbies. Once the students have completed this, I would have them share their assignments and teach the rest of the class about their hobby and why they enjoy it.
