Two I remember: she would pull out quotes or descriptions and have the class relate them to their own experiences in writing, usually on a computer; one student put together a booklet of edible plants that the book's hero might have found good to eat in the wilderness. This included drawing, looking up for botanical information, and a fair amount of extra reading, it grew from the student's own interest. As I remember, the student then painted the drawings, and wrote a little paragraph of description--habitat, and so on. Andrea
