Adaptation

Today in class, we have read our stories out loud together, as well as the stories of 5th B. Our favorite story from 5th B was Under the Rug. We think some of their stories could be a bit longer.

5th A has decided to adapt our stories into a dialogue or play. We also want to draw pictures of the endings of the stories. We voted to decide which story we want to adapt into a dialogue.

The Seven Chairs had 6 votes.
Missing in Venice had 9 votes.
Archie Smith, Boy Wonder had 5 votes.
Just Dessert had 14 votes.
Under the Rug had 3 votes.
