Project #1

 

 

Part 1:  The Story of Fred

    The class assignment was to read the story of Fred we took out the ending to the story and gave it to the class to come up with it on their own.  They then had to read the story to the class with the new ending.

    This is the story that we gave to the class:                       

Fred was not the happiest man in Garden Grove. He'd left his broken down car on the 22 Freeway, and he'd walked the last two miles home. His dog had disappeared that morning, and his fish, Mr. Blub looked as if he was coming down with a cold. Fred had bought lunch on his way home and took the first bite of his burrito and could tell they'd ignored his request to leave out the onions. Fred hated onions.
On days like this, Fred knew there was only one thing to do.

        The real ending to the story that we took out was:

There came a time in every person's life when enough was enough. He picked up the phone and punched in the number. It rang three times before that familiar voice answered. Fred cleared his throat. "Mommy?"

Part 2:  Crazy Critter Creations

Picture of the project that we used

 

    We gave the class this assignment in 3 brown paper paper bags.  We gave them them the first bag filled with the following:

Bag #1

Bag #1

Then after 10 minutes we gave them

Bag #2

  Bag #2

After another 10 minutes we have them

Bag #3

Bag #3

 

The reason for this project was for the different groups to create as  much as they could with each bag.  Each bag that we gave them was filled with something  that they could add to the project that was already started with the previous bag.
