In order to get ready for our combined group visit with DW Wilson, we have decided to spend some time getting to know one another first. And, we need to get some questions ready to ask him - about the story we all read, about his experience growing up in small town BC, and about writing.
First Some Author Deets:
The Book - Once You Break a Knuckle
2) Mix-it-up Handshakes...
- Slide, Slide, UH! and name and favourite movie
- Fists, Twist, Rocket Ship and name and best book ever read
- Slap, Slap, Ankle Tap and name and share something you are good at
3) Small Group Discussions - Once You Break a Knuckle is about "Good people doing bad things." So, let's talk about bad things and good things....
Question One - What are the signs that something you are about to do is bad?

4) Whole Group Discussion - what do these questions have to do with the story, "Don't Touch the Ground"? Quick Review --------> Whole Group Discussion --------> Teacher "draw" your thoughts on the board.
5) Question Creation - Everybody must take all that we've discussed and think of at least two questions to ask DW Wilson on Monday - this does not mean you have to ask that question, it just means that you are ready.
