Welcome to Day 4 of The Lost Secret of Fairies novel study. Today, I continue with study questions for the next few chapters, and am featuring a blog article activity that goes along with the novel study. I have three auxiliary activities that go along with reading The Lost Secret of Fairies. They relate to science, author craft, and literature, specifically fairy tales and legends. So, let’s begin with the first activity followed by the study questions for chapters 4-6.

This is a link to a blog post written by me in how I get my ideas as an author. It is called: “How Do Writer’s Get Their Ideas?”

Here are the activity directions. It can be used in conjunction with the novel study or as a separate children’s reading activity.

1. Read the blog post “How Do Writer’s Get Their Ideas?” by Tiffany Turner
2. Print out the blog post if possible. Circle or highlight evidence or details you thing are important in regards to writers getting ideas.
3. Now, answer the questions about the blog post below.

• What are some examples that Mrs. Turner uses to explain how she got her ideas?
• How do you get your ideas for your stories?
• Bonus: Think about writing your favorite author about how they get their ideas. What would you ask them?

Chapter 4 – 6: Study Guide Questions for The Lost Secret of Fairies
