Questions for classroom discussion and assignments:
- David Adler believes that children need to learn about prejudice while they are young. Ask your teacher if he or she could arrange to have a guest speaker, such as a local policeman, someone from the Anti Defamation League, or a school counselor, talk to the class about acts of prejudice in the community.
- The class will brainstorm a list of settings and a list of events — then match one setting with one event. Write a short story using the setting and event of your choice.
- David Adler loves magic. Take this opportunity to visit your library and look up books on magic. Next, choose a simple trick and once you've mastered the trick, perform it for the class.
