Sixth graders at Connors Elementary School in Lewiston recently participated in a Side x Side bookmaking program led by teaching artist Leah Cross and integrated with a unit on dystopian literature with a focus on character traits and relationships. Using character journals, students recorded their research and created puppets of their chosen characters. They then designed accordion books to display settings and use as a puppet stage to bring the novels, The Hunger Games, The Fog Diver, and Icebreaker to life.
