Treats

I’ve found a chocolate truffle of a book. No, a real black truffle of a book that I eagerly sought out like a pig in the Italian woods. Just reading the title made my mouth water:
In it are gems of activities that show off the author's creativity. I'm inspired by her genius ideas. Jealously inspired.


1. Internal Monologue: students use character's feelings, experiences, and thoughts described in a story to deliver a monologue as the character.




2. Gift to a character: students will give 3 tangible or intangible gifts to the same or different characters in a story. Each gift needs a gift card attached to it to explain why that particular gift was given.


3. Candy Wrapper letter: students must bring empty candy wrappers to class. They will cut and paste candy wrappers to write a letter to a character.

Seeing all these activities I can’t help but think, and dare I say it...I’m excited for school to start! I know it’s a naively optimistic, stereotypical reaction expected of young/stupid teachers but I can’t help it. Candy wrappers! Soliloquies! Gift giving! How can I resist?
