Use the mentor text, Scarecrow by Cynthia Rylant, to show students life from a scarecrow's point of view. Students will summarize the book, find evidence in the story that the scarecrow enjoys his life, and see how Cynthia Rylant uses language to help the reader visualize.

We were finally able to have a meal with no tears that evening. On Friday A's class had pajama day. I know, huge thrill, right? Even better, A was given a Key Award at a school wide assembly.
