“A Gift From Fadil” Activity Katie Nipp
Story • Fadil’s older sister is getting married and Fadil’s younger sister is sad • Fadil and his little sister decide to give a gift to the older sister, Ikhlas, a gift • They want to give her a potted flower • They must design a package to fit the plant • They engineer a design and work hard to make a package • They test the plant in the box, but it becomes wilted • So Fadil and his little sister rethink their design and used fewer materials so the plant could breathe
Try It activity • For the Try It activity, I designed a box for a fragile vase • I decided that the box would be mailed, so I had to take that into consideration • In order to keep the vase safe with household materials I already had, I lined the inside of a box with cotton balls • I tried to make the cotton evenly spaced to provide the best protection for the vase
Try it activity Cont’d • Because the vase is a gift for a friend or family member, I decided to decorate the box like Fadil and his sister decorated their package
evaluation • I think the book and activity are appropriate for elementary school students • The story is a little challenging, so not for children below third grade level • Activity could be done with younger students, but best for 3rd, 4th, or 5th graders
