What if there was a SIXTH Golden Ticket???

After reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the Third Graders came up with a sixth character that won Willy Wonka's Golden Ticket (if there was a 6th ticket to win).  This character had to be yet another "bad nut," like the other 4 characters (of course not Charlie Bucket).

The kids worked independently or with a partner to brainstorm their character - what he/she was like, what his/her "vice" (bad habit) was and what would happen to that person if he/she entered Wonka's factory.  They then created their character and wrote a chapter about their character's experience in the factory.

The results were AMAZING!  Below please check out all the "6th Golden Ticket Winners" that were cut from Roald Dahl's book -- but in our opinion, shouldn't have been.  And if you have the chance, the stories and character creations are hanging up right outside the Third Grade classroom.
