My idea for a mini unit is for a class of grade ? students(not sure yet) to create a class big book where each student will create a page for another student on why their peer is something else and unique. Here is my outline:
Lesson 1: Read a big book to model, discuss appropriate ways of describing classmates, and create an intro page collectively (2 days)
Lesson 2: Students work individually or in small groups if preferred to write why their selected peer is something else and draw an illustration to accompany it (2 days)
Lesson 3: Pages will be compiled and shared, a conclusion will be written and a title chosen.
*class anthology will be laminated and binded so that it can be displayed in the classroom.

Who is going to choose the selected peer, and are they going to write about each other or is it going to be like pull a name out of a hat and that is who you have?
ReplyDeletewho will make the intro page? will it be a their suggestions and you drawing it, or are they all coming up individually and adding something?
ReplyDeleteI like it! kids are going to really enjoy making creatures out of each other.
