“The Queen’s Jewelry”
In this activity, students will construct the jewelry that the Queen commissions from Ranofer; each piece of jewelry will include a symbolic representation of a challenge Ranofer endures to achieve his dream.
At the novel’s conclusion, the Queen is moved by Ranofer’s hopes and dreams. She provides Ranofer with a donkey and commissions him to construct jewelry for her as he works for Zau.
In your reading journal or notes, sketch the pieces of jewelry created by classmates as they present, and add a summary statement on the symbolic meaning of each piece.
