Welcome, my friends!

Sadako and the 1000 Paper Cranes

How does this slide show work?

• In the next slide, you will watch a video of me reading the prologue and chapter one of Sadako and the 1000 Paper Cranes. 
• Throughout the video, there will be times for you to stop and write a little about what we have read. 
• After the video is done, there are fun quizzes, mix and matches, and a space to write a letter to Mr. MacKay.
• Hope you enjoy!

Sasaki Family Mix and Match!

On the next page, drag the correct name to the matching description of the member of the Sasaki family. We have met so many new characters... let's try to keep them straight!

He is 14, loves to eat, and doesn't think spiders are very lucky...

She is 11 years old, loves to run, and can't wait to get to Peace Day!

He is only six, and he sometimes needs help getting dressed in the morning.

She passed away when the bomb dropped during WWII. Now the family prays for her.

She is 9-years old, but is very helpful with the blankets.

They don't think that Sadako should call Peace Day a carnival.
