The boys and girls are reading the novel, Poppy by Avi. Poppy the deer mouse urges her family to move next to a field of corn big enough to feed them all forever, but Mr. Ocax, a terrifying owl, has other ideas. It is a story of courage and determination.
Poppy, the mouse gets blamed for dooming her family. The mice are running out of food, and need to move for survival. They must ask the owl, ther "king" Mr. Ocax for permission. The owl tells the mice that they cannot move to a new area with enough food because of Poppy's actions.
We created scripts and acted out a trial scene for Poppy.
We had a judge, lawyers, a witness, and a defendant.
