"Everyday Use" by Alice Walker

We just finished reading "Everyday Use" by Alice Walker. We discussed and listed characteristics of the 3 females in the story, the Mother, Maggie, and Dee. We got a pretty good idea of what these 3 women were like. I want you to tell me more!

Idea 1: Write a paragraph telling me which character you are most like, and why.

Idea 2: Tell me which character you would like to spend the day with and what you would do. What would your day be like with that character?

Idea 3: Change the mother's decision of giving the quilts to Maggie and write a new ending to the story.
