Build Background How would you create an entirely new society? How would the society be ruled, what would the currency be, and how would the tasks be divided? This story is based on people’s memories of their childhood. The author researched her mother’s drawings, interviewed relatives, and reviewed their maps and memories and mementos of Roxaboxen.

Browse Now let’s browse the first page or two of the story. Let ‘s read aloud: the title, the author and illustrator. Now let’s browse the first page or two of the story. What might this story tell about imagination? Look at the illustrations in the selections. Make sure you make predictions about the text to help monitor your comprehension. Look for: clues, problems, such as unfamiliar words (trans. 46)

ford: to cross by wading After that you had to ford a river to reach Roxaboxen. During the hike, we had to ford a creek that was knee high.

traced: formed carefully, to sketch A town of Roxaboxen began to grow, traced in lines of stone: Main Street first, edged with the whitest ones, and then the houses. The border of the garden was traced with pansies.

mayor: the chief elected official of a city Marian was mayor, of course, that's just the way she was. The town elected a new mayor last week.

decorated: added ornamentation; adorned Each year when the cactus blossomed, they decorated the grave with flowers. The students decorated the room for the party.

blossomed: Bloomed, produced flowers And spring came, and the ocotillo blossomed, and everybody sucked the honey from its flowers, and everybody built new rooms, and everybody decided to have jeweled windows. Our plum tree blossomed this spring.

bordering: to be lying on the edge of She could see the white stones bordering Main Street, and there where she could see her house the desert glass still glowed – amethyst, amber, and sea-green. There was a river bordering the town where we lived.

Have you ever imagined that the playground, your background, or your bedroom is a different place? What places do you imagine they are? What do you do in your imaginary worlds?

Why did the person telling this story call Roxaboxen “a special place”? What made it special? Who can me find clues to answer this question?

Good readers make connections with what they read to remind them of what they already know about something or about how they feel. I can remember playing with my friends in my neighborhood and making up special places. Who else has other connections to the story that they would like to share?

I think I know why Marian is the mayor of Roxaboxen I think I know why Marian is the mayor of Roxaboxen. The story says nobody cared because that’s they way she was. I know kids like Marian. They always volunteer and like to be in charge of things. I think Marian likes to be in charge, too.

This part of the story talks about the children having cars and going to jail for speeding. But I know that they’re only children-who shouldn’t be driving cars! Of course, they didn’t really have cars. It’s all part of their make-believe world. It is important that I clarify confusing things so that you understand what you’re reading.

I’m not sure what a bridle is. I guess I should read this part again. It says the kids need a bridle and a stick. The stick is probably the horse. I guess a bridle is something that goes on the horse.

I wondered why Roxaboxen did not end when the children grew up. When I read on, I saw that it lived on in the children’s memories. Does anyone have connections to the story?

Charles came back to Roxaboxen when he was old and found a pebble that reminded him of Roxaboxen. Does anyone have something that reminds of somewhere they have been?

Discussion Why did the children invent the town? What was the town they invented like? What did they do in the town? What happened to the place? What made the place special? How does it connect to imagination? What did you learn that is new? What are you still wondering?

What do these words have in common? grave steer kind light club These words are all homographs-words that are spelled the same but have different meanings. Use a word in a sentence. Then someone else use another meaning of the word in a new sentence.

In first-person narrative, the writer tells the story as if they are a character in the story. Clue words: I, me, mine, we, our, ours. In third-person narrative, the writer tells the story as if the storyteller were not in the story. Clue words: he, him, she, they, and theirs.

Checking Comprehension Who uses their imagination in this story? How do they use imagination? How do we know that Roxaboxen was important to the children? How does this selection contribute to your understanding of the unit theme Imagination?

Point of View Generally in a story first-person or third-person point of view is used. The indicators of first-person point of view are that the person telling the story is involved in the action and uses pronouns like I, me, my, mine, we, us, and our. In third-person point of view, the person telling the story is not involved in the actions but is reporting them. This point of view uses third-person pronouns like he/him, she/her, and they/them.
