Week 4 - October 10 - 14: Chapters 21-25, Epilogue

Here are some raps from Vermont students: Winnie met a toad on the side of the road. Her family owned the wood where the winding stream stood. The water that Winnie drank never, would have made her live forever. The Tucks had a secret. Would Winnie ever keep it? The man in yellow was not the greatest fellow. Winnie learned about the water. Would she be the Tuck’s new daughter? Or would she marry Jesse Tuck and have a lot of luck? Would she go to save Mae somewhere along the way? Her whole life in jail would surely make Mae wail. The man in the yellow suit thought he was the hot one, but he went to their house and got hit with a shotgun. I don’t care what you say. The Tucks will be living every day!
 * The T. E. Rap **

Tuck had a dream that he never drank from the stream. It was magical, you see, an everlasting future his would be. Tuck's whole family would live forever. Death would see them never. Winnie found out their secret. To herself, would she keep it? The Tucks took her away. In their home she had to stay. The man in the yellow suit wanted to make a lot of of loot- By selling the magical spring, in bottles to the town he would bring. Winnie's parents were so strange. But they certainly saw that Winnie had changed. How does this story end? Don't ask me, go ask your friend.
 * Rap #2 **

The man in yellow died, but no one cried. With a shot gun he got banged. Now Mae will be the one hanged. The constable took Winnie home. Now she sits in her room alone. Will Jessie lead a jailbreak? Saving a family secret is at stake. The death of the man gives Jessie a plan. Will the magic water lose its power when the secret gets out hour by hour? Tuck had a dream that he never saw the stream. They were so surprised when they found they could not die.
 * Rap #3 **

**Rap #4**
Winnie was stuck behind a horrible gate. What would be her future fate? One day she decided to run away, but she met Jessie along the way. Jessie was drinking from a stream, while Angus had a dream. He said, "The water might not be or you." Oh, what would Winnie do? The next thing she knew, Winnie was on a horse and the sudden road was on course. The man in the yellow suit, they rode by. They didn't realize he would be so sly. The man in the yellow suit followed them all the way, all throughout the day. In a few hours, Mae stopped and said, "We may never rest with the dead." The man in the yellow suit overheard. Yes! He heard every single word! They soon approached the house, which they shared with a tiny mouse. Winnie felt incredibly strange. She wasn't used to the Tuck's house of no change. Once in bed, Jessie asked her to wed. She changed her mind and left her old thoughts behind.

Wow, those raps are great, Vermont! We'd love to see video of the students performing them :) Grade 4 class in Calgary Alberta created this Wall Wisher, after we finished the book. We had a great discussion about the ending!
