What is the most important lesson you learned from reading this story? What would you
say to Chrysanthemum if you could?
Activity: Think-write-pair-share. Ask the students to write about what lesson they learned
from the story (2-5 sentences). Then, have the students compare their ideas with their
shoulder partner. Ask them to also tell their partners what they would say to
Chrysanthemum if they could.
Activity Alternative: For younger students. Ask students to trace their hands on a piece of
paper. The students will write one kind word they would say to Chrysanthemum on their
paper hand and color them. The teacher will create a large stem of a chrysanthemum and
create a flower out of each students handprint.
