Excellent blog Kelly, it was put together very nicely. The two motivational activities I suggest are:
ReplyDelete1. You can have the children put on this book in a play to get a better understanding of the book through hands on experience.
2. Another activity is to make a sequel to this story and see how many different types of stories you get from the various students.
