The Most Magnificent Thing Read Aloud Book Guide accompanies the 2014 children’s book by Ashley Spires. Challenge students to connect with the girl and her experience of failing, taking a step back, and starting again. Identify and analyze the author’s use of descriptive adjectives and action verbs. Discuss and evaluate the various prototypes that come before the final ‘Magnificent Thing.’ Explore the concept of why magnificent things are hard to accomplish and ask students to recall and describe their own difficult accomplishments.

Digital Version Tips

  • It is intended for a paperless, 1:1 tablet/iPad classroom
  • Ask students to download a PDF editor app if they don’t already have one. It needs to have a save function as well. I used Foxit PDF.
  • Host the file. I used google drive to share a folder with students.
  • When complete, ask students to save the file in a designated google drive folder using a naming convention. (I use LastnameFirstnameMovieGuide.pdf)

Distance Learning Tips:

  1. Distribute the digital PDF file or the google forms version to each student
  2. Use the screen sharing tool to read aloud the book and share the pictures with your students
  3. Pause for discussion after all or designated questions and give students time to respond
