Hi Everyone!
So this week we have been working on summer vacation
stories. To go with this theme, I read
the story How I Spent My Summer Vacation by Chris Van Allsburg. This is a great story about a kid with a wild
imagination. I then had students write
about their favorite summer vacation story. Once they wrote this we practiced
editing skills which no one thought they needed! WRONG, lol.
Afterwards, I was inspired by a fellow teacher, who I like to
call Amazing Amy (yes, she wears a cape) to do a similar activity craft she was
doing with her student’s summer vacation stories. So I created a half sheet
final draft sheet for their stories. I posted this below in a PDF link - Free.
I used a sunglasses pic from the website http://www.clker.com/clipart-black-and-white-sunglass-frames.html
which is a free clipart site. Students colored the glasses and put mini-scene
pics in the glass part of the glasses.
After students finished writing their final drafts and cut-out
their completed sunglasses, I took them to attach to a long piece of
construction paper. I pasted the story at the bottom and sun glasses above for
students to draw their face and neck.
I think their final story and craft turned out great!
Thanks,
Erin
