Hello:
Or...another brainstorm I just had...could I ask 4th and 5th grade after
hearing a summary of the story to make it a modern day one with a boy/girl
their age...who (for example) everything they touch turns to _____, or they
get everything they ask for, etc. With illustration at bottom of short
story. Does this sound better?
