Shared Writing:
 Favorite Fall Activities in Michigan

Have you ever done a fall activity in Michigan?  Our class voted on which fall activity that we liked the best.  Our choices were: pumpkin picking, apple picking, raking leaves, playing in the leaves, going on a hayride, Trick-or-Treating, and eating cider and doughnuts.

We used the Graph Club computer program to graph our results.  Most of our class chose “Trick-or-Treating” over the others as their favorite fall activity.  None of us chose pumpkin picking, apple picking, or raking leaves.  There were many different fall activities that we enjoy in Michigan.  If you come to Michigan, these are some of the activities that you can do here.
