We have a book report due Monday.

The kids are in despair.

So am I. I gave them the assignment two weeks ago. I gave them the world’s most detailed directions. All it is is a mobile, based on a book they’ve read and like. Minimum three hangy things, one about characters, one about setting, one about conflict.

We went over the whole thing in class. I drew pictures on the board.

I’m not gonna get them. Or they’re going to be posters. Or they’re gonna be four-page written reports.
