The characters in My Sister's Keeper have names that are popular today and could be anyone of our friends or people that we know. To make some connections between our lives and the fictional lives of these characters, write a one-page journal telling the story behind your name. You should consider the following questions or statements as you investigate and retell your family story about your name:
v Why your parents chose that name?
v Who are you named after and why?
v What does your name mean?
v What other names were under consideration?
v How you feel about your name?
v The ways other people respond to your name.
v Anything else you can think of that is significant about your name.
Your teacher will share her/his story in class.
