[LM_NET] TAR: How many days to America?

[Gail Brubaker <srvca.library@COMCAST.NET>]

I've searched the archives and am at a loss as to how best to use Eve Bunting's 
book, How Many Days to America? with my 5th graders. The title is on most of the 
Thanksgiving books lists...but can those of you that have used this book help me 
out with a conversation starter or some follow up questions to get the kids talking 
about it? Ours is not a very multicultural community, and unless I have ideas to 
get them thinking, I fear that we'll be done in less than 10 minutes and they'll 
miss the richness of the story.

Thanks in advance!
