Redwall - Preface
A "preface" is at the beginning of the book, before chapter 1 begins. This section generally gives backround to the story, and introduces the reader to a character or a setting that is central to the story.
Assignment: Read the poem at the beginning of the book. "I - am that is." What do you think this means? Try to look at the poem all by itself. If you've read the story before, confine your thoughts to ONLY the poem without bringing what you know of the story into your analysis.
Assignment: Read the paragraphs on the page opposite the poem. "It was the start of the Summer of the Late Rose. ..." Draw a picture using marker, crayon, pencil, or paint. Use the words in these paragraphs to guide your drawing. Try to put on paper exactly what you see in your mind when you read these paragraphs.
