Step three (slowly collecting additional proverbs from the mentor text): Says Sandy, "I like to have students write about the proverbs as they occur in A Single Shard. There are many for each chapter; you can either be selective or you can post several. This gives students a choice about what life experiences they might have had that in some way mirror the lessons learned by Tree-ear. The proverbs from the interactive button game on the student instructions page actually come from A Single Shard.

This seems to give purpose to the reading/listening. Children then listen to discover the sequence of events that lead to the proverb.
