My favorite lessons are when I can relate a book to an activity. This lesson was inspired from my community center after voting! I saw picketing turkeys in the hallway and thought about what a great idea to pair up with the book called A Turkey for Thanksgiving by Eve Bunting. The students used paint to color in the picketing turkey and completed the phrase Eat More….. They printed them and it really makes a great display of colorful projects. This lesson can be adapted in many ways:
- Put the pictures in Photo Story to read what they wrote.
- Write a story about the picture they colored.
- Talk about healthy food choices.
- Translate Eat More in Spanish (Coma Mas) and pair it with a food in Spanish. Record students reading what they wrote!
