Imagine that you are the principal of a school and you just found out that there was a fight in the lunchroom during lunch. You’ve asked many students and teachers who witnessed the fight to write down what they saw and who they think started the fight. Unfortunately, you have received many conflicting accounts that disagree not only as to who started the fight, but also as to who was involved and when the fight even started. It’s important to remember that NO ONE is just plain lying.


What might make one person’s story more believable or plausible than another person’s?

Answer:

If one person is more likely to lie to people or if they have a  bad record then their statement will not be as plausible as if someone with a clean slate that doesn't lie tells the story.

Read the excerpt from the play Apple Picking:

Characters:
- Mischa
- Luke
- Mom
- Dad



Scene One


On an overcast autumn afternoon in the middle of a field with many apple trees. A brother and a sister have a ladder up against an apple tree. One is picking apples and placing them in a sack tied around her waist. The other is holding the ladder steady.


Mischa: (standing on the ladder and looking at an apple) I'm not so sure about these. They have a ton of spots and are not quite ripe.

Luke: That's alright, we're just making a pie for Sunday dinner anyway. No one will see the spots, and we can add sugar to sweeten them up.

Mischa: (Nodding in approval) Yeah, I guess you're right. Mom always likes her pie apples to be a little firm anyways.


Suddenly, the wind begins to blow strongly making the ladder tip back and forth slightly.


Mischa: (With an alarmed look on her face.) What's going on? There isn't supposed to be a storm today! We'll never make it back to our house before it hits!

Luke: (Holding onto the ladder as hard as he can) You need to come down! I can't hold the ladder much longer!

Mischa carefully but swiftly climbs down the ladder while the wind is still blowing. Luke holds on to the ladder as it sways back and forth. Mischa makes it to the bottom. They both look toward dark clouds rolling in quickly with thunder and lightning.


Luke: (Yelling over the storm) We'd better find some shelter! (Pointing toward a rundown old farmhouse.) I think there's an old farm house that way!

Mischa: (Also yelling) You lead the way. I'm too scared!

Luke: (Grabbing her by the hand) It's going to be okay! Run with me!

Both children run to the old farmhouse holding each other's hand. When they make it there, they enter through an open window.



Scene Two


In the kitchen of the old farmhouse. There is an old dusty table and chairs, but everything else including the stove is gone. The windows are broken, the curtains tattered, and the wallpaper peeling. The wind is picking up and blowing through. The children are calming down. Mischa looks out the broken window where a large dead tree sits close to the house, while Luke sits at the old table. The sack of apples sits on the table.


Mischa: It's almost here Luke. The branches on the trees are swaying all over the place.

Luke: (Looking at the old tree through the window) Come away from the window Mischa. It's a really bad storm, that's for sure.

Mischa: (sitting down in the chair opposite Luke.) I think it's a tornado.

Luke: It's not a tornado, but those are some heavy winds.


The wind picks up and the curtains sway violently. Something smacks up against the side of the house.


Luke: What was that? It's picking up.

Mischa: Where are Mom and Dad? Why aren't they here to help us?

Luke: Never mind that. We need to worry about ourselves right now. I think we should go down to the ...


Suddenly, a tree branch hits the window smashing it even more than it was. Luke and Mischa scream.


Mischa: (Yelling) To the basement!


The children run toward the basement when Mischa stops and turns back.


Luke: (Still yelling) What are you doing? Come back!

Mischa: (Still yelling) The apples! I need to grab the apples!

Luke: Mischa no!

Mischa runs to grab the apples. She gets a hold of the sack and turns around toward the basement again. As she gets to the basement door, the old large tree snaps, cracks, and falls through the kitchen wall. She is okay, but shaken.

Once inside Clinton Hall, the writer found a different climate.

Read the excerpt from an adaptation of "To Build a Fire.”

When he fell down a second time, the dog curled its tail over its forefeet and sat in front of him, facing him, curiously eager and intent. The warmth and security of the animal angered him, and he cursed it till it flattened down its ears appeasingly. This time the shivering came more quickly upon the man. He was losing in his battle with the frost.

The dog is "eager and intent,” while the man is

o resentful of the dog’s natural protection.
o frustrated by the dog’s disobedience.
o confused by the change in temperature.
o satisfied with his own survival skills.

Mr. Ridley

On the Friday before winter break, Mrs. Lyon was out sick with a cold. So, Mr. Ridley substituted for the day. Most of the students in Mrs. Lyon's class were normally well-behaved. However, with the anticipation of the winter break, they became a little wild. While Mr. Ridley was writing on the dry erase board, Margo threw a paper airplane at his back. The class giggled as Mr. Ridley spun around to see who had thrown the paper airplane.
"Class! Throwing paper airplanes at a teacher is unacceptable and disrespectful. Who did that?" Mr. Ridley asked.
The students kept their mouths closed and sat up straight in their chairs. No one volunteered any information.
"Fine then, you will all stay in from recess until someone tells me who threw the airplane," Mr. Ridley said.
Mercy wiggled in her seat. She wanted to tell the teacher who threw the airplane, but she was afraid that the other students would call her a tattle tale.
Alan, the class clown, was thrilled that someone besides him had done something foolish. He would never tell. He would expect the same loyalty from his classmates.
Margo felt nervous. She wanted to confess and apologize to Mr. Ridley, but she was afraid that she would receive a harsh punishment. She wondered how long her classmates would protect her.
Jervis sat and drummed his fingers. He didn't see who threw the paper airplane, but he guessed that it had been Alan. He was tempted to raise his hand and tell the teacher that Alan was the responsible party, but he wasn't completely confident. He really wished that someone would tell who did it. It wasn't fair that the whole class was being punished for one person's mistake.
Rosania was happy that the class wasn't going to recess. She had terrible allergies and wanted to stay inside. She hoped that no one would say a word until recess time was over.
Mr. Ridley walked around the classroom looking at each student's face as he went by. He thought he detected sweat and shaking when he walked by Fred. He wondered if Fred was the culprit. However, Fred just needed to use the restroom but was afraid to ask.
"Fred, you seem a bit anxious. What is it you want to tell me?" Mr. Ridley asked.
"Nothing, sir. I-I need to use the restroom," Fred stammered.
"No one is leaving this room until I find out who threw that airplane at me," Mr. Ridley said.
Margo could not allow her classmates to suffer any longer.
"It was me! I threw it! I'm sorry, Mr. Ridley," Margo said as she burst into tears.
Mr. Ridley hated to see children cry. He rushed over to Margo and gently patted her back.
"I forgive you. Don't cry," Mr. Ridley said.
"I was just being silly. I didn't mean to disrespect you," Margo sniffled.
"We will forget all about it. Let's enjoy the rest of our day together. Because you were honest, we will all play games for the rest of the day," Mr. Ridley announced.


A. Margo is eager, but Alan is hesitant.

B. Margo is regretful, but Alan is pleased.

C. Margo is happy, but Alan is worried.
