6. Personal Response: I love the family photographs. Because the family structure is a little different in some countries, some families are large and extended, while others are quite small. It’s also interesting to see which families smile in the pictures and how the members of the family are positioned in the photo.
7. Connections: I used this in a unit on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl. Charlie lives with his grandparents, as do many of my students, and this book showed how this is a common practice throughout the world. ( )
