Summary

What if we rewrote a piece of writing without using certain letters?

  1. First, students rewrite "Mary Had A Little Lamb" without the letter O.
  2. Next, they try without the letter A. Yep, that means four of the five words in the title are gone!
  3. Now, students rewrite the poem without the letters T or S.
  4. And finally, for an extreme challenge, students can try without half of the alphabet: B F G J K O Q U V W X Y Z.
