Tadpole's Promise

The first time I heard this story a professor had read it to our class.  I didn't know what reaction I should've had.  Should I have laughed, cried, or jumped up and said, "Why?!"

If you haven't seen this book and you're looking for a surprise ending where your emotions are in constant turmoil, this is the book.  It's also amazing to see how many students "get" the ending!

Students responded in their notebooks using any comprehension strategy they wanted.  At the bottom, they had to write which strategy they used.

Here's their work!
