“Award Ceremony for Amy”
In this activity, students will design an award for Amy and explain the ways in which she is deserving for her contributions in solving a murder.
Design an award for Amy because of her help in solving her grandparents’ murder. Consider elements of the novel that represent Amy’s growth, character, and ingenuity. Then create a written description of the design of the award you used to represent Amy, explaining the ways in which its appearance is symbolic.
Share your presentation with peers, explaining the symbols you included.
Teaching Suggestion: Students may find it beneficial to host a small-group discussion describing the symbols and what they represent in the book prior to creating their award.
