Overview/Activities
Students who have not seen the Appalachian
mountains may have difficulty visualizing the setting
of Wish You Well. Have the students create
a scrapbook of the flora and fauna of the area. Working
chapter by chapter, the students will compile, individually
or as a group activity, a list of plants, birds, and
animals mentioned in the book. (See sample list on the
blackline master.) Then, ask
them to write a description and provide an illustration
of each item on their list.
Guides to birds, flowers, plants,
and animals of Appalachia are available in most libraries.
A site on Appalachia at http://www.martin.k12.ky.us
offers numerous photographs of the area. Some students
may prefer to sketch the pictures themselves, while
others may want to use copies from books and magazines.
Seed catalogs are another source for pictures and information
about the flora.
