Anne picked the spot for her cabin very carefully, finding a place that would help her, without damaging the local environment. Work together as a class to find the best place to build an imaginary cabin either in your classroom or outside the school. You must find a spot where you don’t have to move anything, and you have access to the things you think you will need.

Les élèves de niveau supérieur peuvent vouloir explorer certains sujets de manière plus approfondie.

1. If you were in Anne’s shoes, would you have purchased lumber for your house, or cut trees on your land? Discuss why you would have made that choice. 
2. Think of an accomplishment you are proud of. Think of the work you did and the help you had to make it happen. Write a story describing it in the style of Anne LaBastille. Try to describe things in detail, make the reader feel like they were there with you when it happened. Describe how you felt, what you thought, the sights and sounds of the moment, etc. Anything you are proud of counts! A really good grade, a great musical performance, a time you helped someone out, a win in your favorite game, or finally mastering a new hairstyle.
