About this ebook
About the Novel:
Frindle is the story of a clever, time-wasting schemer’s innovative plan to create his own word for the dictionary. Ten-year-old Nick Allen has a reputation for developing ingenious plans that distract teachers. For the first time ever, his diversions fail to create the desired results in Mrs. Granger’s fifth grade language arts class. Instead of distracting her, he ends up with an extra assignment and oral presentation on how new entries are added to the dictionary. Surprisingly, the boring assignment leads to Nick’s most clever idea yet when he decides to create his own new word—frindle. Nick recruits five fellow students to support his efforts in changing the name of pen to frindle. Their insistence on referring to pens as frindles causes a major commotion when Mrs. Granger’s passion for vocabulary and strict emphasis on the correct use of language result in a battle of wills that threatens to disrupt the whole school. Their war of words spreads beyond the school resulting in after-school punishments, a home visit from the principal, national publicity, economic opportunities for local businessmen, and, eventually inclusion in the dictionary.

Introduction

The guide features a number of useful and flexible components, from which the teacher can choose. It is not expected that all of the activities will be completed. An advantage to this approach to the study of a novel is that the student can work at his or her own pace, and the teacher can assign activities which match the student’s abilities and interests.
The study guide generally divides the novel by chapter and features reading comprehension and vocabulary questions. Themes include family relationships, teacher-student relationships, peer pressure, friendship, self-awareness, entrepreneurship, altruism and rebellion against authority.
