Some of our 4th graders visited our 3rd graders to share their "Choose Your Own Adventure" books that they wrote. 4th graders authored a story about an animal they researched that was trying to protect itself from a predator using two different defense mechanisms. The 3rd graders choose which defense mechanism to continue the story with to see what the ending would be!
