For select classroom titles, we also provide Teaching Guides with discussion and quiz questions to prompt student engagement.

“Emotions, Weather, and the Story (Stories) of Your Life”
In this activity, students will flex their creative writing muscles by coming up with stories that, as Dan Gemeinhart does in Scar Island, connect the inner emotional lives of characters to external weather patterns.
From ominous clouds to furious storms, the external weather reflects and reinforces the inner emotional world of the book’s main characters throughout Scar Island. In this two-part activity, you will draw upon the weather to tell your own stories.
Before you begin writing, review key moments in Scar Island where the weather is featured prominently, particularly in the novel’s final chapters, in which the storm around Slabhenge gathers strength and intensity with the emotional crescendo in Jonathan’s story.
