Writing Connection
Recording events as journal entries.
Say: I want you to work with a partner. Go back through the text and pick out the important events. Write these events as though you were Cathy writing in her personal journal. Remember to add her feelings as well as the event.
Social Studies Connection
Have children work in small groups to research the Inuit. Then draw the groups together to discuss the similarities and differences between the Inuit and the Aborigine.
Reading Independently
Invite children to reread the book, Cathy Freeman, independently or with a partner. They could then look for and read other magazine, newspaper, or Internet articles about Cathy Freeman. Children should also read each other’s journal writing.
