Writing: Today Strawberry students shared their "missing chapter" assignment with a classmate, and began writing a second draft. Using characters of Cut-Eye Higgins and a pig named Good Luck from the book, By The Great Horn Spoon, the students wrote their own version of the untold story of these characters, including pig heroism, Cut-Eye treachery, and a marriage between swine and man in a parody of The Owl & the Pussycat, by Edward Lear.
