Calligraphy, story mapping, and "The View from Saturday"

Grade Level: 6

Taking their inspiration Noah, the story's first narrator, K. and A. chose to craft their The View from Saturday character map using calligraphy

We're about four chapters into E.L Konigsburg's novel The View from Saturday--and the 6th grade students have been really enjoying both the story and the activities we've been doing to engage with it.  Recently, they've made story maps using calligraphy pens (similar to the pen Noah learns how to use in the book's first chapter), had a reading tea party in the library loft, and responded to a writing prompt about a day they want to relive.
