    And how can we feel so different and be so much alike?wondered Pip.

    I think this is quite a mystery, Flap chirped.

    I agree, said Stellaluna. But were friends. And thats a fact.

    Think about the themes and lessons you learned from the

    characters in Stellaluna and Dragons and Giants. Then

    think about yourself and when you learned the meaning of

    friendship. Next, write a narrative about a friendship.Remember to:

    recount two or more appropriately sequenced events.

    include some details about what happened.

    use temporal words to signal event order.

    provide some sense of closure.

    Then share your writing with the class orally or by posting your work.

    Lets Write!

    Johnny Appleseed is the perfect nickname for a

    man who spent his life growing apples. As soon

    as John Chapman got to Pennsylvania, he began

    gathering apple seeds. He used these seeds togrow apple trees in Pennsylvania. He also shared

    apple seeds and trees with settlers. He continued

    sharing apple seeds and growing apple trees in

    Ohio and Indiana. He brought apple trees toevery place that he lived. Johnny Appleseed is

    just the right nickname for someone who spread

    apples across the country because it shows how

    he changed his community and impacted the

    development of the landscape.
