James and the Giant Peach Lit Study: Giant Flying Peach
by Amanda Goossen
James and the Giant Peach is a wonderful fantasy novel but what if the peach, the insects and James were right in front of our eyes? What would they look like when they've been turned into giant specimen by the magic crystals. Using research, measurement and math, students will discover just how big and heavy these things become and how many seagulls would really be needed to carry such a monstrosity over the Atlantic Ocean.
