Have the students make a diorama creating their favorite scene from the story. After creating the scene, write a short paragraph describing the scene. Paragraph should be written legibly and show proper spacing between letters, words, and sentences. Students should spell unknown words by saying them slowly and writing all sounds heard. Students will then glue their paragraph to the back of their diorama. Reaction of students: The students loved the story of
Mr. Peters and his crazy chocolate candy making gadget. Overall, the students’ favorite scene was
when Mr. Peters makes his heroic swim through the shark-infested chocolate
waters and saves Ducky. The students
enjoyed making the diorama. They would
have liked to make their own, but were eager to supply ideals and suggestions
for the collaborative example. The
students willingly wrote their short paragraph about their favorite scene. Their only struggle with the writing
assignment was condensing their detailed version of their favorite scene into
just a few sentences. |
