"Battle" Scenes

Room 221 loved "Poppy" by Avi as a read aloud. The children loved the suspense of Mr. Ocax and the humor of Ereth. They voted on their favorite chapters. One of their favorites was "The Battle" in which Poppy (the mouse) fights Mr. Ocax (the owl) for her life. They used their bodies to create sculptures of scenes within that chapter.
