-graphic novel
The Emperor was very high-maintenance and insisted on having a different outfit to wear for each hour of each week! His closest of clothes took up a huge section of the castle. He made sure to never wear the same outfit twice, mismatching as many items as he could. Worse than that, he never got the outfit out himself, he would demand others that worked for him to go fetch the outfit he described. The Emperor did not do his job supervising others because he was too busy thinking about his clothes. His workers soon thought of an idea to trick the emperor into thinking that there was a better material he could use for his outfits that is "softer than a cloud," "glows as brightly as the full moon," and "only fools can't see it!" Once the material was "made," the emperor wore it around town and that is when he noticed he had been tricked all this time! His assistant asked if he was too embarrassed and wanted to turn around but the emperor decided he deserved this for being to foolish and walked proudly in his underwear.
As an extension to this activity I will have the students turn to this back of this book and notice that there is a glossary full of about 10 words that are defined from the story. I will point out that using resources such as titles, pictures, glossaries, indexes, font styles, and knowing the genre types are all important parts of the book that should not be overlooked. To emphasize the importance, I will assign the students to use the definitions given in the glossary and write a sentence with each one describing some part of the story we read.
