Cloud Busting: Puffin Poetry

Product Information

This text follows the relationship of Sam and Davey, where they have a complex friendship. The text considers themes such as friendship and kindness, but also of bullying. It also considers issues such as allergies and could help children to recognise the seriousness of allergies and also raise awareness on what to do if someone suffers from a reaction, as I feel there will always be at least one child in a school who may require an epi-pen. Cloud Busting describes a lifechanging experience, and could be a life-changing book. Questions that will be worthy of deeper discussion may include: Weisbard, Eric; Marks, Craig, eds. (1995). Spin Alternative Record Guide. New York: Vintage Books. p.63. ISBN 0-679-75574-8. As a class, children will discuss what they know, and what they can infer, about the main characters based on their reading so far.

In the alternative activity provided, children are challenged to gather appropriate words and phrases to write a haiku about Davey.
