The students performed an impromptu group read aloud last week from The Witches. The passages are taken from the Grand High Witch's speech, and were read with incredible expression and creativity. The students also created images of "regular women" and "disguised witches." As we learned while each student was sharing, it can be quite difficult to tell the two apart!
This led to a terrific discussion about the book's fantasy nature (the witches' square toes and itchy wigs) but also about one of the important messages that the author has presented: not judging someone based on their appearance.
Below is a short video of their performance and artwork.
