The students are starting a new narrative writing assignment called Disguise a Turkey. We read the story, “‘Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving” and "Turkey Trouble." Turkey Trouble is about a turkey who is trying to avoid getting cooked for Thanksgiving dinner. He disguises himself as a cow, a rooster, a horse, a pig, and other animals. But unfortunately, the other farm animals are still able to identify who he is.
For our narratives, we will be pretending to have a pet turkey that we have to help disguise and hide so that it doesn't get cooked for Thanksgiving. The students can use their imagination and "dress" their turkey as anything or anyone.
There is also a paper craft to complete with the narrative (templates will be sent home Tuesday, 11/5). Students can use any materials to color and decorate their paper turkey (please keep any decorations about the same size as the paper turkey and to not extend it past 8.5"x11").
The writing and paper craft project is due Tuesday, 11/19.
