Yesterday morning, in the middle of reading, we received an email from Mr. Henderson stating that the cafeteria was closed due to a pipe that had burst over the weekend. The doors were locked to all staff and students for the rest of the day. I showed the kids the email from Mr. Henderson up on the big screen. Their mouths dropped open. Their eyes got huge. Some students volunteered to share their lunch and their snack. Some suggested we order pizza and have it delivered or go on a walking field trip to Wesco or Montague Foods. Others, thought we should take a bus to Arby's, McDonald's, or Pizza Hut. Some just wanted to be sent home. I told them we should make a telling frame of all of our ideas so we could present them to Mr. Henderson. I mean, we have to eat lunch! I then confessed that it was all made up, even the email from Mr. Henderson. I asked him to send me one to use for the lesson. The kids couldn't believe it! I told them that it will make for a great realistic fiction story though, and that we can use some of their responses in our story. For this story, we will all be using the same problem that the cafeteria is locked and the same solution, but each student will be creating his/her own character for this story. I cannot wait to see what they all come up with!
