Pupils at Holland take 'Tuck Everlasting' to their own stage!


Mrs. Alef's fifth-grade class at Holland Elementary School recently finished reading "Tuck Everlasting," a popular story. To wrap up the story, pupils were given several choices for a small group project.

"Tuck Everlasting" is a fantasy novel by Natalie Babbitt that was published in 1975. The book explores the concepts of immorality and the reasons why it might not be as desirable as it appears. 

They had these choices: Create a news report from a scene in the book; act out a part of the book; hold a trial for one of the characters in the book; or to create any other idea that they had to present part of the book to their classmates.

The pupils were very creative in preparing scripts, making props and planning the performances.

According to everyone who looked on, Holland may have some future Hollywood stars in its midst.
