Treasure
Esther, a homeless woman, is searching through a junkyard. She passes by objects of possible use and worth in favour of things broken or old, until she finds just the right treasure.
Teaching Ideas
Describe the old lady's day as a 1st person diary entry.
Use descriptive language to show how special the objects are to Esther; introduce hyperbole, an old, leaky umbrella could let the sunshine through on hot days. How can something rusty be described to sound beautiful? Perhaps have some objects in class for the children to describe in this way.
Link this to recycling and junk modelling.
