The Problem with an Earthquake

We have been writing haunted house stories for Halloween this week. The students had to write a 'sloppy copy' first to make sure they spelled everything correctly and had included everything from the assignment. Then they got their final copy, which was a book made up of an orange construction paper cover with a picture of a haunted house and lined paper inside with a spot to draw the pictures. On all the other books I had just stuck the lined paper inside the cover and told them that I would staple it after they finished writing. When I got to Chase, he said, "I need to staple my book because if there is a really strong earthquake in the mountain it might take the page out."



Right . . . I guess that could happen.
