The Tin Forest

Product Information

One day, he finally started to create a forest that's made of these things and soon, a bird happened to visit his place. Such was the joy the old man felt, but also got disappointed and sad when the bird went away.

Question 11 involves your class putting themselves into the old man’s shoes to determine what he appreciates at the end of the story. Is it the company? The scenery? How alive the forest is?That being said, I am completely drawn to this old man, who lived in “a wide, windswept place, near nowhere and close to forgotten,” who every day “tried to clear away the garbage,” and who dreamed tropical dreams. I fancy a fella who sees a broken light bulb and suddenly “an idea planted itself in his mind” — that with a little tinkering that light bulb could look like a flower. And I love that such a small idea “grew roots and sprouted. Feeding on the garbage, it grew leaves. It grew branches. It grew bigger and bigger” until, under his hand, “a forest emerged. A forest made of garbage. A forest made of tin.” In this resource, your class will circle the correct words to complete the sentences. Each sentence gives some information about the old man with some information being obviously apparent and other information based on making simple inferences. There was once a wide, windswept place, near nowhere and close to forgotten that was filled with all the things that no one wanted. The Tin Forest was once a Reading Rainbow book.

The book could be used as a trigger for some fantastic artwork, exploring contrasts in tone and texture, exploring mixed media or responding emotionally to the story.

Or for those who believe that our world is without hope and so why care... Your class must complete the passage by adding in adjective using their knowledge or the word bank. They will then think of descriptions of the old man at the beginning of the story using explicit information like appearance etc. or deeper information linked to his thoughts, feelings and what type of a person he is, always looking for concise explanations too.The story is quite simple, but the lessons contained within are quite valuable. It's important to see the potential beauty in all things and also that it is possible to make your dreams come true, if at first the solution is not quite what you expect.
