After you have create your fancy Thanksgiving turkey, you will list one thing you give thanks. Do this for each finger.

On the other side of the fingers, write one important thing you learn in each finger.

Day 7- 14: Create a model of Thanksgiving!

 

For this assignment you will create a model of one scenario that you have seen either in the story video or read in the story. You may ask your parents to help you on some steps of the process. After choosing a scenario or event,you will make a drawing of what you want the model to look. Then, you will create a model in a shoe box. You may use all types of crafting material to create the model. Make sure that the event chosen, has happened in either one of the stories above.

 

You are given enough time to complete this, so I am expecting something really creative and neat.

 

Here are some example of how I want your project to look!!

  

 

 

When you are done be ready to present it on class. Below there is a rubric of what I expect for your presentation.
