“In Honor of Alaska”
In this activity, students will reflect on the power of their names, choosing to focus on their own name, a new name, or a nickname.
Alaska explains how and why she chose her own name. It becomes central to the novel. Let’s take some time to ponder our own names. For this activity, you can choose your name, a new name you might like to have, or a nickname. Then create a poem about the name and its importance. While reflecting and writing, it might help to consider some or all of these questions:
Share your poems in small-group presentations. Listen to your peers. Write a journal entry about the power of names.
Teaching Suggestion: This activity can help build community in the class.
