Read "Cranberry Thanksgiving"

Have everyone try a cranberry ~ mention that they grow on an evergreen bush

(Taken from FIAR Vol. I book):
Setting ~ first page of story
Conflict ~ someone is trying to steal recipe
Rising Action ~ who is the thief?
Climax ~ "It's Mr. Horace!"
Denouement (Falling Action) ~ when Grandmother throws Mr. Horace out, forgives him, and offers him pie
Simile ~ comparison of two unlike things (like, as)

At end of story:
Discuss how Mr. Horace is not what he appears to be ~ He is a thief.
Compare/Contrast Mr. Horace & Mr. Whiskers
What does Thanksgiving mean to you?
What are you thankful for?

Science:
Starched handkerchief example

String cranberries and popcorn on thread to put around neck and bring outside to hang in tree for birds, squirrels
