Today my class began reading the story, "Sarah, Plain, and Tall." This is still one of my childhood favorites. As we were reading in the book, I asked some questions about the story. One of the questions I asked was, "Why did Papa put an ad in the newspaper looking for a wife?"
Kateri answers first, "Well, Anna was getting older and she needed a mother to teach her how to be a lady."
"Great answer Kateri, are there any other answers?"
Ralph, "Well, he needed a wife, so he put an ad in the paper."
"Okay, Ralph, but why the paper?"
"Because he needed a wife," says Joseph.
"Alright boys and girls, I want you to think, why would a person write an ad in the paper for a wife."
Agnes raised her hand to answer, "Probably because they did not have a computer and so he couldn't use e-Harmony."
