This remarkable book was co-written by Omar Mohamed, whose story is told, and Victoria Jamieson, well-known author of the Newbery Honor Award Winner<em>\u00a0Roller Girl<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">When Stars are Scattered Book Summary<\/h2><p>The story begins with the narrator (Omar) and his younger brother (Hassan) walking through the refugee camp from Block A3 to A2. This is not a safe thing to do. The week before some big kids took their pants and shoes when they left their neighborhood block. Once they reach Block A2, Hassan is liked by everyone. He waves, talks to donkeys, and collects fruit for the goats. The boys have lived in the refugee camp of Dadaab for 7 years in a tent across from Fatuma who is like a foster mom.<\/p><p>Omar doesn\u2019t go to school because he must care for Hassan who doesn\u2019t talk and has seizures. They spend their days playing at the building pit pretending to be home in Somalia.<\/p><p>Salan, a community leader, comes by to talk to Omar. After several visits, Omar learns that Salan wants him in school. Salan makes school possible for Omar by arranging for Fatuma to care for Hassan during the day. Salan also talks with the principal and arranges for Omar to start school in the 5<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0grade. When Omar worries about leaving Hassan, he goes outside and talks to one star that brings him comfort like it is from a distant memory. Omar doesn\u2019t hear an answer from the stars \u2013 just the sounds of hyenas\u2026<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section

If you have access to scanners, that is a great option as well.<\/p><h4>Step 7 \u2013 Have Students Add Text on Top of their Drawings.<\/h4><p>Open a Google Slide presentation. Adjust the slide size to 11 by 8.5 inches (landscape direction). Upload the digital image as a background. Have students add text bubbles and boxes on top of the image.<\/p><h4>Step 8 \u2013 Download the image as a PNG.\u00a0<\/h4><p>Once all text is added to the page, download the Google Slide as a PNG file.<\/p><h4>Step 9\u2013 Putting Frames Together<\/h4><p>Have students work in small groups to create graphic novel pages by opening up a new Google Slide presentation. Change the slide size to 8.5 by 11 inches (portrait direction). Upload 3 to 4 student images to the slide and arrange them in story order.<\/p><h4>Step 10 \u2013\u00a0 Putting Pages Together<\/h4><p>Class pages can be put together to form the chapter. These can be displayed in printable or digital formats.<\/p><h3>Teaching Idea #3 \u2013 When Stars are Scattered Author Video<\/h3><p>This video is from the Read, Write, Draw from Home Series by Penguin Middle School.
