MEDIA STUDIES

Write a sequel to "I'm Bored". How will the potato convince the flamingo that potatoes aren't boring?

Design a new book cover for the sequel book (or a new cover design for "I'm Bored").

Create a TV commercial to encourage people to read "I'm Bored".

What movie, TV show or other book does "I'm Bored" remind you of? Why? Explain in a paragraph.

FOR TEACHERS:

Classes are welcome to write a letter to the illustrator:

Debbie Ridpath Ohi, 1543 Bayview Ave. P.O. Box 116, Toronto, ON Canada M4G 3B5.

Debbie will write back to the entire class (teachers are asked to please write CLEARLY the name of each student on his or her letter beneath the signature, so Debbie can mention them in her response)
