Hue+Boy+Reinforcing+Activity.

Students will use the illustrations in the book Hue Boy to make connections between the environment and human activity. Questions will be provided to guide students through this process. Students will be making inferences about the Caribbean culture individually and afterward we will use the ideas in a class discussion. As a class, we will read the text together and we will determine whether or not the predictions are valid. A chart is available to help students organize their notes.

1. What connections can you make between the illustrations of the physical environment (trees, weather, ground) and the buildings?

2. What connections can you make between the foods that Hue Boy likes to eat and the agriculture in the Caribbean Islands?

3. Based on the illustrations what predictions can you make about the farming industry? fishing industry?

4. Based on the illustrations what can you predict about the climate and weather?

5. What do you think schools might be like in the Caribbean?
