This resource is ideal for a makerspace, DIY project or a Halloween activity. Includes:

• Vampire Buddy templates (top and bottom)
• Photo of all three finished Creature Buddies to provide an example for kids

This is an integrated project that focuses on the Persuade portion of Author's Purpose. I integrated this project with my science unit (Human Impacts on the earth) and my social studies unit (How people can help our planet). Students were tasked with creating an ad to persuade their audience to help with a world problem (Deforestation, Pollution, etc).

All of the graphic organizers we used, PowerPoints with ads and videos of world problems, and the checklist for the ad is included in this product. The students get to explore ads already created and review them. Then they research some of the world problems. After this they are placed in groups and then using a random wheel, are given a world problem. They then identify the impacts of the problem and come up with some solutions. Then they begin to plan their ad and once approved by their teacher, they began creating their ad!

In my classroom, my students wanted to try and create commercials. So we used the Canva app (usually free for educators) and the students worked together to create their commercials.

I hope this product is useful and gets your students engaged. Please rate and review.

Merry Christmas! This is a self-portrait that students will create of themselves. They will then use adjectives to describe their self-portraits/themselves and place them in the ornaments surrounding the self-portrait. There are included cutouts for the self-portrait if students would like to add more things to make it look more like Christmas. The Santa hat, antlers, and ears have already been shaped to fit the head. Students will just need to cut them out.

I hope this helps get your students into the Christmas spirit! This will be a great product for displaying student work also. I hope you enjoy it!
