Option 1: Re-read the quote below. Based on today’s lesson, class discussion, reading, and
previous knowledge, what do these
words mean to you? Write a paragraph in which you explain this quote in your
own words.
“…The
difference between the man who just cuts lawns and a real gardener is in the
touching, he said. The lawn- cutter might just as well not have been there at
all; the gardener will be there a lifetime."

•Option 2: Task: Do you believe
that people are becoming too over stimulated? Is there still room for books in
our society? Will people ever stop reading? Do you think technology and books
can coexist (live together)? Write a paragraph expressing your opinion. Include
examples from the book.

•Option 3: "Everyone must
leave something behind when he dies….A child or a book or a painting or a house
…Or a garden planted. Something …so your soul has somewhere to go when you die,
and when people look at that tree or that flower you planted, you're there. It
doesn't matter what you do, he said, so long as you change something from the
way it was before you touched it.”
•Do you agree that
people will remember you based on what you have done in the world?
