At our lab, we reviewed a unique strategy for comprehending difficult texts. Reread the story. Then, consider the following:
- Research the symbolism of a dragon using this webpage. Write a short article that describes your findings about the impact of this particular animal in any text.
- Write an alternate ending to the story. What if the strategy that Matthias used in order to escape the dragon didn’t work? What would happen then?
- Using the SWBS strategy, write a more detailed paragraph explaining what the story is about. Then, include a life lesson or theme that a student can learn from the story.
