The Grade 6 students are reading "The Phantom Tollbooth" by Norton Juster. They have been discussing the following essential questions to focus their reading.

-who decides what is important to learn?
-can you be forced to learn something if you don't think that it is important?
-how can you have fun with words?
-is being bored a choice?

Discuss any thoughts you have about these questions here.
