Turkey Project!

 

Grades: K-5

November 10-21, 2014

Deadline to register: October 31, 2014

Registration Form: Closed

Cost: Free!

 

 

This project is a great holiday activity with your students! Partner with a school from another state to share unique and fun ideas how to disguise a turkey to make it through the holidays. Students will enhance their learning and stretch their imagination by writing and sharing fiction, analyzing characters, practicing informative writing, and building a knowledge base with interactive technology. 

 

Directions:

1. Read the story "A Plump and Perky Turkey" by Lisa Bateman to your class as a whole group. If you cannot locate the book, see below for Youtube videos with the book that might help.
2. Each Student receives a copy of the "Naked Turkey" outline worksheet (download below). The students disguise or camouflage the turkey during class time or at home with their family. If there is also a download to a parent letter. You will need to adjust the teacher name and date to return the finished turkey. 

3. Students fill in dialogue bubble. Can provide sentence starter if desired "I am not a turkey".... (this is optional depending on grade level)
4. When partner classes meet for their video conference, students will take turns sharing their turkeys. Older students can write a descriptive paper and the best 4 or 5 can share with the other class.
