The Backwards Poem Assignment
After listening to excerpts from Holes, students will discuss ways that author Louis Sachar uses irony, antonyms and vivid vocabulary to develop his story. Using a graphic organizer, students compare and contrast these characters/places with their names (for example, Camp Green Lake is actually a dried up lake that is a detention center for delinquent boys). This lesson focuses on word choice and voice.
