Borgel
Daniel Pinkwater
Summary
11 year old Borgel, who has lived with the family ever
since Melvin since birth, decides to leave one night and invites Melvin and his
talking dog to come along. Off they go in Borgel's 1937 Dorbzeldgestet sedan
for
a trip through time and an unforgettable journey
Evaluation
This falls under the category of Science fiction . Filled with realistic characters but events not could not entirely take place
Class Activity
Activity 1 would be a treasure hunt with planet like treasures. This will involve
all students and keep everyone interactive. I would give them clues and let
them hunt.
Activity 2 would be hot/cold. In this activity I
would hide treats and multiple household items and say “hot” or “cold” when a student is near a scientific object.
