LORAX

The Lorax, Part 2 Green Eggs and Ham, The Cat in the Hat, How the Grinch Stole Christmas are just a few of the children books that Dr. Seuss is famous for. However, none have seemed to cause as much controversy as The Lorax. Since writing this very famous book, The Lorax, many critics pushed Dr. Seuss to create a Lorax Part Two. They believed his ending left the problem of the story unresolved and felt that he should have provided some kind of solution to the problem posed. However, this task was never accomplished before Dr. Seuss passed away.

Nevertheless, the publishing company of Dr. Seuss' books is now asking all young writers to submit a completed version of The Lorax Part two to complete his famous series. As a famous author, critics feel that it is important for you to take a stand, but which side do you choose? The book poses the position of four different people or things: the Once-ler, the Lorax, a truffula tree, and the young boy listening to the story. Your team will need to choose the perspective of your version. If your view is going to shape the opinion of many young children, it is important to represent each side fairly. You must write and illustrate The Lorax part two, with all group members in agreement on how it should end. OR Lorax Text Rubric - Ending makes sense based on the perspective chosen by your group.
