We read the book A Plump and Perky Turkey.
Then I sent a blank template home with them and told them that they needed to dress their turkey up in a disguise so that it wouldn't get eaten for Thanksgiving.
Here's some of the ones my students brought back:
| baseball player |
| Groucho Marx |
| Little Red Riding Hood |
| A farmer |
| A cheerleader |
| A cat |
| A king |
| Jewelry |
| A lamb |
| A pile of leaves |
| A gypsy |
| Mario |
| A business man |
| A clown |
| A mermaid |
Then I had them write speech bubbles like they were talking to the farmer explaining (persuading) the farmer as to why they were definitely NOT a turkey! If you would like the template or the letter I sent home, don't hesitate to email me! If I have time later, I will add by each what my students wrote.

I would like a copy of the template please and thank you doing this lesson THIS THursday
