For the past week we have been learning about penguins and text features. To incorporate these lessons, students made a non-fiction book based on information learned through the use of the internet as well as books. Once their book was complete they scored themselves on the rubric, followed by a conference with me where we discussed the writing goals they met and ones they wanted to continue to work on.
Because the students worked so hard on their penguin books I decided it was time for a little penguin challenge! Students were asked to create a penguin using limited materials and specific criteria, one of which it had to stand by itself. Oh my goodness...such creativity!!! Once their penguin was complete the students filled out a rubric to see if they met the challenge. Check out all the pictures. I think they did an amazing job!
