The document is a list of students' names arranged in a tree formation. It encourages neighborhood children to come hang out on its branches by promising fun activities. The tree says it would tell the children about watching leaves change color in the fall, feeling the warmth of the sun, and sheltering birds from storms. It hopes sharing these experiences would convince the kids to spend time playing in its branches.

1. Imagine that you are a tree. What would you say to the
neighborhood children to convince them to come hang
out on your branches?
