This idea inspired me to pick the story Be A friend, by Salina Yoon for Library Literature Circles. We are going to start working in little groups soon.

INTRODUCING THE STORY: Be a Friend by Salina Yoon is a simple story of being different from the others around you and how that difference can make you special. Dennis is an ordinary boy who expresses himself in extraordinary ways. Dennis mimes.

  1. Listen to the song about the book Be A Friend that Emily Arrow, a children´s songs writer, wrote to bring the story alive. Sing along!

2. Read and answer:

a- What do you think a mime is?

b-Watch the following Mime Act of Ballon Seller by Moinul Haque. Write down what happens to him. Use the space for comments below.

c- We are meeting soon to work on the story together! Can´t wait to get started!
