Before students read Chapter 9, hold a discussion about bravery. Create a concept web for bravery on the chalkboard or on chart paper, and have students brainstorm words and ideas that they associate with bravery. Prompt them with questions such as: What does it mean to be brave? When do people need to be brave? Can a person be both frightened and brave at the same time?
During community share, return to the concept web. Ask students if they have any new ideas to add to the web after having read Chapter 9. Do they agree with Uncle Henrik that it is easier to be brave if you don't know everything? Why?
Have students share their predictions about who the mourners at Great-aunt Birte's funeral are.
