The Cat at the Wall has a very open-ended conclusion. What happens next? Have students write a story continuing Clare’s adventures. Will she find Omar? Will she “turn back” into a human? Will she go to live with Aaron? Will she continue to help bring peace in small ways? When students have finished their first drafts, have them revise their work based on peer and teacher feedback. Have students type their final stories into the computer and assemble them into an anthology to be distributed to all members of the class.
