This is a good theme for middle school kids because it shows them that they can accomplish anything in school. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tKqgtn94Ejk/TCBvOIjUEWI/AAAAAAAAAAc/TOx FvtqLXfo/s1600/42475-Clipart-Illustration-Of-The-Red-3d-Word-SUCCESS- Surrounded-By-White-Letters.jpg Slide 7 imagery Ex. One day a high summer flood washed him out of the burrow and carried him, kicking and clucking down a roadside ditch. He found a little wisp of grass floating there, and clung to it till he lost his senses. There is a lot of detail and description that helps you picture Rikki in your head. http://s0.geograph.org.uk/photos/13/39/133987_4e7e48be.jpg Slide 8 Figurative language He could fluff up his tail until it looked a bottle- brush. Kipling uses similes like this one all through the story. We can just imagine what Rikki looks like when he is ready to fight. http://www.mpushini-fauna.com/resources/white- tailed%20mongoose1.jpg Slide 9 Word choice She [Nagaina] had crept up behind him as he was talking, to make an end of him; and he heard her savage hiss as the stroke missed. Kipling selects words that show how Nagaina is scary, sneaky, and evil. http://cdn2.arkive.org/media/BF/BF91400A-3497-4513-B548- A8247724C41D/Presentation.Large/Indian-grey-mongoose-attacking-a- snake.jpg Slide 10 The author The story by Rudyard Kipling would be great to include because hes popular for writing books about animals like The Jungle Book even though he lived a long time ago.
