High-Diving Horses

In Writing Workshop we have been working on making our stories come alive.

We have been reading lots of books by authors who make their stories come alive.  
Ezra Jack Keats has been one of our favorite authors!

We also noticed how Linda Oatman High stretched out her story bit by bit during the exciting part of The Girl on the High-Diving Horse.

Room 408 loved hearing the "inside story" of how it felt for the character Cordelia to get the chance to be one of the girls on a high-diving horse.
Here is some historical footage of an actual girl on a high-diving horse:




Would you high-dive on a horse's back if you got the chance?
