The group met again and we’ve decided to use the Cuban Missile Crisis as our event which we will relate to the story of Bartholomew and the Oobleck. We found a few books at the Ottawa Public Library and ordered them on Amberly’s library card. We wrote a rough thesis statement which is as follows: “The book Bartholomew and the Oobleck, by Dr. Seuss, is about the greedy and proud King Derwin who hires royal magicians to create a new weather element to fall from the sky. Oobleck falls from the sky causing a sticky mess which wrecks havoc on the Kingdom of Didd. The problem is finally resolved, when the king takes responsibility for the disaster and apologizes. The situation in this book is similar to the Cuban Missile Crisis, in many ways. ” We plan on doing more research during our winter break to determine in what “many ways” the Cuban Missile Crisis is similar to Bartholomew and the Oobleck. And we are going to meet again to discuss our research findings and formulate an improved thesis statement in early January.
