Pp. 304-305 How do you think Jiichan feels about children? What details make you think this? When Jiichan says the television pictures were jerky and blurry and had no color, what do you think he was comparing them to? Pp. 306-307 What two things does the author compare on page 306 to create a picture in the readers mind? Why do you think Jiichan thinks those two things are alike? What does familiar mean? As the kamishibai man went around the familiar neighborhoods, why did children start to act as if they didnt know him?

Finish the story by talking about flashbacks. What is a flashback? Tell the students that flashbacks help us understand what happened to a character and how that impacts the character now. What parts in this story are flashbacks? Where does it start and where does it end? What does this flashback tell us about the kamishibai man? (5 minutes) After completing Kamishibai Man, students will work independently on writing complete sentence responses to target vocabulary questions.
