Activity: Stand Tall Self-Portrait

Free Downloadable Discussion Guide and Activity Inspired by Stand Tall, Molly Lou Melon 

by Alana Pedalino

MOLLY-class-activity-CUFAB

Molly Lou Melon might be smaller than most kids; she might have big buckteeth and a squeaky voice—but she also has a special grandmother who tells her how extraordinary she is! Similarly, your students have you to help them realize how great each of them is.

After reading Stand Tall, Molly Lou Melon as a class, kick off a conversation with your students about Molly Lou’s character traits and how she handles her bully, Ronald. See the free downloadable guide below for questions to help spark your class discussions:

Then just like first grade teacher Jen Cardinal suggests in this week’s Book Talks teacher review video, you can encourage your students to create their own self-portraits, accentuating the qualities that make them unique! Download the free printable activity here:

How did your students’ self-portraits turn out? We’d love to see them! If you’re able, please share with us and other Scholastic Book Clubs teachers on Facebook and Instagram using the hashtag #ScholasticBookClubs!
