Tuck Everlasting

Today we discussed the book Tuck Everlasting in class. We got to make an animoto that we created on the motifs in the book. We decided that the most common motif was fantasy. This book is a fantastical literature book. It is based off events that cant really happen. We added pictures to our animoto and then added captions.

Dr. Smirnova started the class with 2 puppets today. It definitely gained our attention, and got us engaged. We presented our animotos and used the puppets as well. Puppets are a great way to start a class especially with young children. The following link on Puppets provides many resources on how to use puppets and why they are important.

We also had 3 authors that came into our class. 

Jodi Picoult

Barbara Helen Berger

Kevin Henkes
