Since the book is based on Ike exaggerating how horrible the academy is, when in fact it is fabulous, I had my students exaggerate about how horrible our classroom is. They wrote persuasive letters to the principal using the same type of exaggeration as Ike. They had fun and turned out some great letters. I used this lesson with a 6th grade class.
