Turk and Runt by Lisa Wheeler
Schema: runt, Wilbur in Charlotte’s Web by E. B. White
Drawing Conclusions: When we draw a conclusion we should be able to go back and find evidence in the text to support it. When Turk concludes that Runt has been right about being chosen to be a dinner is a great place to talk about drawing conclusions.
The little old lady decides that Runt is just the turkey for her. Turk sees look in the lady’s eyes, the drool, the fork, and the roasting pan and concludes that the woman wants to eat Runt.
Cause and Effect: Because they realized that Runt had been right about the people coming to choose them for their dinner, and not to play football or dance, the effect is that they listen to Runt and dress like snow turkeys for the next holiday season.
