After Reading
Comprehending the Text
Draw the group together again, and ask children to discuss the plot.
Ask: What was the main event that set the rest of the story in motion? Where did Onhgarouk go? Why did he leave? Who did he follow first? Next? After that? Why did he leave? What happened when he got home again?
Discuss the pattern in the text.
Ask: What did you notice about the pattern that emerged? Why do you think the author wrote the story like that?
Discuss the theme.
Say and ask: Let’s talk about the underlying meaning or theme? Share with the group what you think this is. Do you think that there is such a thing as a perfect life? Does the grass always seem greener on the other side? Did Onhgarouk need to go away to become a better man? Why or why not?
