Before reading, pre-read the book by looking through the illustrations and predicting what might happen.
After reading, have the students pick out the twelve most important sentences and write them on sentence strips. Have the students put them in order. Identify the main problem and the solution. Discuss setting and characters.
Discuss which elements of the story showed that it was a strong community. For example, the townspeople pulled together to save the town, they all have a common goal, they work together, etc.
Students will each pick one of the important sentences to illustrate (2 per sentence). They will illustrate the sentence and write two new sentences that tell why community was important in MacMurtrey's Wall. Create a spiral bound book with the students drawings accompanying the sentences, and their interpretations at the back.
