Activity for ANNE OF GREEN GABLES by L.M. Montgomery: "Anne's Bookmarker"

Learn how to make the "awfully fashionable" bookmarker that Diana Barry gave Anne Shirley - "only three girls in school know how to make them" and now you can, too!
All you need is a square of origami paper, a friendship quotation (download at www.litwits.com) some scissors, and glue.
"The next morning a note, most fearfully and wonderfully twisted and folded, and a small parcel, were passed across to Anne.
'Dear Anne... I miss you awfully to tell all my secrets too, and i don't like Gertie Pye one bit. I made you one of the new book markers out of red tissue paper. They are awfully fashionable now and only three girls in school know how to make them. When you look at it remember
Your true friend,
Diana Berry.' ”
- Ch. 17, ANNE OF GREEN GABLES, L.M. Montgomery

ABOUT THE BOOK
When the orphanage sends the Cuthberts a pale, redheaded girl instead of a sturdy farm boy, they know she’ll just have to go back. After all, they had decided to adopt because they needed farm help-a strong, sturdy boy-not a girl, and especially not such a dreamy, talkative one (whose imagination and temper sometimes get the best of her)! But neither Matthew nor his sister Marilla can resist Anne’s charms, and the longer she stays at Green Gables, the less it’s possible to imagine life without her. No one who meets Anne of Green Gables, on Prince Edward Island or on the page, can ever forget her!
