Our book of the week this week is an old classic, but with a new twist. This week with our reading groups we will be reading the story of Sam-I-am and the unnamed narrator. While Sam tries his sales pitch of different places and dinner partners the narrator is equally determined not to try green eggs and ham. Sam's idea eventually works and the narrator begins to like green eggs and ham. After reading we will discuss the book and then write our own persuasive paragraph for or against trying green eggs and ham.
Story Questions:

Do you think he will not try it because Sam-I-Am is too pushy?
