In Watermelon Sugar by Richard Brautigan. If you've read, as I have, the novel for which Richard Brautigan is most famous, Trout Fishing In America, then you'll have some idea of what to expect here: a sort of wide-eyed hippy innocence, short and enigmatically named chapters, constant repetition of the novel's title at various points throughout the text, and a picture on the cover of Brautigan and some doe-eyed "special lady" in a suggestively charged pose. In Watermelon Sugar was Brautigan's third novel, published in 1968. It's got the same slightly hello clouds, hello sky hippy-dippy innocence as Trout Fishing In America, but in the service of a slightly more coherent story. Which seems to be a post-apocalyptic idyll whereby the trappings of an older and more technologically advanced civilisation (including, slightly bizarrely, a race of talking tigers) are shut away in a place called The Forgotten Works while the survivors live a pastoral existence in their woodland shacks, gathering periodically in the central commune (called, for reasons that are never adequately explained, iDEATH) for food and assorted pleasantries and building their shacks, bridges, etc. out of planks made from the aforementioned watermelon sugar. The nameless narrator is conducting a relationship with a young woman from iDEATH called Pauline while attempting to avoid the obsessive attentions of his ex-partner Margaret. Some members of the commune hang out at the Forgotten Works and scavenge some of the mysterious artefacts to be found there, and needless to say No Good Comes Of It. If one were inclined to, one could find all of this a bit irritating, but I think if you take it as a product of its time it's quite charming in a light and child-like sort of way. None of which will be of much comfort to Brautigan, as he shot himself at the age of 49 in 1984.

Hi teacher friends, Linda here from Around the Kampfire! I'm headed into week 7 (almost to the end of the first quarter!) and I promised myself I would stay ahead of the game this year (even if it's only by the skin of my teeth!). I've been planning and pulling read alouds and thought I'd share a little cause and effect activity I'll be using soon with Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. Last year while teaching my kiddos about cause & effect we read all about poor Alexander's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day! I made a variation of a multi-flow map to show the cause and effect relationships in the story. I have several copies of the book so I modeled some first then had groups of three locate and write causes and effects on sticky notes to add to our chart. Students then wrote in more detail and illustrated them on this little freebie I used from my friend Courtney at Swimming Into Second. This year, I'm thinking I'll teach this during my small groups and have my kiddos use this student version. If you'd like to use it too you can! Download a copy HERE. If you follow me at Around the Kampfire you know how much I love Tomie dePaola books! So many of his Strega Nona books are perfect for teaching about cause and effect! Every year we do a Tomie dePaola author study and I like to use Big Anthony: His Story to focus on this because Big Anthony is, simply put, a walking disaster of cause and effect! These are Big Anthony brochures we made during last year's study. You can see more of how we worked with characters, story structure, and lots of comprehension and writing activities in my 4-part series Teaching With Tomie dePaola Books. You might also enjoy my Tomie dePaola board on Pinterest! I hope your year is off to a good start!
