Narrative Writing | How the Turkey Escaped Thanksgiving Dinner

By Nardine Mettry

An engaging prompt that sets the stage for a hilarious Thanksgiving adventure! The star of the show? A turkey determined to escape its fate! Students will use their creativity to craft a narrative about the turkey's daring escape, the chaos it leaves behind, and the potential consequences (or maybe even a happy ending!)

Make it interesting!

  • How did the turkey manage to escape the Thanksgiving dinner table?
  • Describe the turkey's journey after escaping. Did it encounter any obstacles or helpful allies?
  • What happens to the characters back at the Thanksgiving table? Are they surprised, disappointed, or perhaps secretly relieved?
  • Will the turkey reach freedom, or will it be captured (with a twist, perhaps)?

What to do in class?

  1. Set the Scene: Introduce the "The Great Gobbler Getaway" prompt and discuss the elements of a strong narrative, such as plot, characters, setting, and a clear beginning, middle, and end.
  2. Brainstorming Bonanza: Encourage students to brainstorm ideas for their narratives. They can sketch scenes, jot down character details, and plan the escape route for their feathery friend.
  3. Gobble Gobble Write! Students put pen to paper and craft their Thanksgiving escape stories.
  4. Sharing Time! Students can share their hilarious and creative narratives with the class, sparking laughter and imagination.

Cinco de mayo Art Projects, Hispanic Art Project, Art Lesson: Cinco de mayo

By Down in the Art Room

This Cinco de Mayo Art Lesson set has 4 projects plus a game so it may be successfully used with all of your elementary students Kindergarten -5th grade. This product contains 4 Cinco de Mayo art projects with project samples and step-by-step instructions with photos plus so much more. These lessons are loosely based on the artwork of Jasper Johns. Also included is information on Cinco de Mayo, Hispanic Heritage Month, and artist Jasper Johns (1 page each).

I love these mixed media projects because any student can be successful - there is no "right way" to complete the mixed media projects. These lessons encourage student creativity, allow students to make choices in their artwork, and include connections to other disciplines (math, social studies, and literacy). A resource page is included with math and literacy connections.

The lesson is in a PDF file. It includes:

  • 4 projects with step-by-step instructions, project samples, and photos
  • Fact sheet for Cinco de Mayo
  • Fact sheet for Hispanic Heritage Month
  • Information about Jasper Johns
  • Cross-curricular and literacy connections
  • Dice game to play to create the project to increase student engagement

With multiple Cinco de Mayo projects, your lesson can easily be differentiated for students. Choose a project for students, let them choose, or let them create their own projects after seeing these examples.

Interesting Classroom Decoration! - 6 Fascinating Rhyming Sotho Words

By Daniel

Perfect fun activity for children to do, and learn about a big World out there, and enjoy themselves!

Students love to learn about other languages. The six Sotho words on this classroom poster

  • are often used by teachers
  • all rhyme with each other
  • are easy to remember
  • are words applicable to everyday life
  • can be used in every classroom
  • are given to you in their original spelling and phonetic spelling.

I am a Sotho speaker and I can promise you, since I put up this poster in my class, students use the words daily, they are interested in this tiny and unknown country, and they feel like linguistic giants (tongue in cheek).

By Mark Holmes

This story is also available as part of an eight story ebook, "Young Voices: Eight Short Stories of Courage & Resilience."

In "Beyond the Horizon," a poignant tale unfolds, following the footsteps of Jose and his three close friends as they embark on a journey that will test the bounds of their friendship and the depth of their dreams. Set against the backdrop of their small Mexican town, this 1200-word story invites readers to walk alongside these spirited youths as they navigate the rugged path to a future filled with hope and uncertainty.

The narrative weaves the laughter, fears, and silent strength of this band of brothers, who are determined to chase the opportunities that eluded their ancestors. With the golden dawn of possibilities before them, they face the daunting challenge of crossing the Mexico-U.S. border, carrying not just their aspirations but also the rich cultural heritage of their homeland.

As the four friends confront the harsh realities of their quest, their bond is tested in ways they never imagined. The story captures the essence of human resilience and the unbreakable spirit of those who dare to dream beyond their horizon. Join us in this heartfelt journey that transcends borders and resonates with anyone who has ever reached for the stars.

There are thought provoking questions (and possible answers) at the end of the story.
