Find a comfy seat and listen to Ms. King read What! Cried Granny by Kate Lum.

Patrick is having his first sleep-over at his grandmother’s house. It’s almost bedtime, but there’s a problem-Patrick doesn’t have a bed at Granny’s. So Granny goes out to her yard, chops down some trees, and makes a comfy bed for Patrick. Now he can go to sleep. Right? Not yet. He doesn’t have a pillow! So Granny dashes to the henhouse, collects some feathers, and sews a fluffy pillow for Patrick. Now he can go to sleep. Right? Not yet. A few other things are still missing . . . . If Patrick is lucky, this could go on all night!

For guided practice, Mr. Martin brings up 4 Students. One plays Mirette on the High Wire and the other three are “Obstacles”. As “Mirette” walks the imaginary highwire each “Obstacle” jumps up to yell out in Gibberish to scare Mirette Away. Mirette swings in a circle to kill the “OBSTACLE”, Obstacle dies an epic death and Mirette moves on to the next. Once Mirette has epically taken down all of the “Obstacles” everyone freezes in tableau. TA asks the audience what the think each Obstacle said. Options: Look Down! Quit Now! You Can’t! Independent Practice: Students are put into groups to create their own version of “Mirette vs The Obstacle” Each Obstacle Has to Say in Gibberish: Look Down! Quit Now! You Can’t! 

Groups present to the class!
