Review the Academic Content Standards related to this lesson. Write, in small groups, a scene that shows what might happen on an average day at their school if magic of some kind was suddenly injected. React to peer critique by rewriting the scene to make it stronger. When students come in, ask them to list in their journals what they know, have heard, or have read about this character and the book series.
Students then share their answers.
Find lines to support your answer. Reread the second paragraph of this review. The teacher should take notes on the board. You may write about magic of any kind, and can choose or create any person or people in the school to wield this magic. Your writing, however, should describe only one 'scene' by showing how that magic affects just one place in the school at one specific time.
