Baxter’s Weblog

This year we are starting off with Crispin: The Cross of Lead. Avi has created such an amazingly detailed setting that is perfect for teaching how setting affects characterization and plot. We have been creating maps of Stromford and soon there will be a link to see how creative the students are. If the group works hard learning setting, characterization, plot, style and theme – we may do some juggling at the end of the novel :}
