My class is going to the movies on a field trip next week. We have to get permission slips signed before we go. We also need to ask our parents if they can drive us to the movie theatre. We are going to see a movie that tells the story of a book we read. We love it when movies are made from books. It is fun to compare the movie to the book. I usually like the book better.
We get to the movie early so we can buy popcorn. Some of us buy candy and drinks, too. We all enjoy the movie. When we go back to school, we talk about the things in the movie and the book. They are similar, but we all agree the book is better. Books let you picture the characters any way you want to.
Word list:
field trip: a short school trip to a museum, par, theatre, etc. to learn things away from the classroom
permission slips: pieces of paper for a parent to sign to show it is okay for their child to go somewhere
