Hello Ranger-in-Training, Park rangers do a lot of research. We gather a lot of facts. But not everything was written down long ago. Sometimes we don't know all the answers so we make careful guesses. We know that one room in Edgar Allan Poe's house, up on the third floor, had a stove (like a heater). Even though we can't prove it, we think Poe's wife Virginia slept here. She was sick and needed to stay warm. We know the family had a cat named Catterina. Now it's your turn to make some careful guesses about what Catterina would have seen in the house. Your friend, Ranger Renee Your Challenge: Write a Story from a Cat's Eye ViewDirections1.

BONUS! Write a story about YOUR house1. On a piece of paper, write a story about where you live. It can be about your home, your neighborhood, your city or town. It can be from the point of view of your pet. The story can be set in the present, or it can be set 50 years in the past or the future. |
