Stuck on You (A Writing FREEBIE)

I have been eyeing this book on amazon for a while, Stuck by Oliver Jeffers.

As luck would have it.  It was finally available in paperback through a recent Scholastic book order.  I received my class copy and one for our house on Wednesday.  I read it to  A  that evening and we both really loved it.

You should check it out.  The story follows Floyd's attempts at throwing various things into a tree to get his stuck kite loose.  It is pretty funny.  

This book is a great jumping off point for many reading comprehension topics.  However, I decided to use it for a quick writing activity.

I read a portion of the book, but not how Floyd (sort of) solves his problem.  I ask the students to come up with their own ideas how they would get everything unstuck from the tree and illustrate what the tree looks like.

Here are a couple of the responses.

After the students completed their responses and shared, I read the remainder of the story.  My sweeties really enjoyed this book and did a good job with this writing assignment.  The illustrations were great.

Best.
