Explanation:

According to the excerpt from "Birdfoot's Grampa" by Joseph Bruchae, the author speaks about "leathery hands full of wet brown life" that are knee-deep in the summer grass to which the narrator smiled and said that they have places to go too.

When the author says "they have places to go to too", he means that he believes that all living things are important.

Hero Qualities

Lesson Aim: Students will create a “hero checklist” that includes 5 – 10 qualities that heroes possess.

Connection: We’re starting a new writing piece today called “The Hero Narrative.” you will be writing

the story of hero from your own family. During this process, you’ll need to use all the writing

techniques you’ve learned so far. You’ll also need to do some more advanced character

development and some research in order to bring your story to life. Let’s read the overview of the

assignment and then get started. Hand out and read through the Hero narrative assignment

worksheet you have created. Hold off on taking too many questions, as many of them

will be answered along the way. You will want to make it clear that students can

select a member of their family that is living or deceased, someone they personally

know/knew or someone that they’ve heard stories about growing up. They do not, nor

should they, decide on the spot who they will write about at this point.
