A Thanksgiving Story

Picture 2

What it is: A Thanksgiving Story is a site that lets your students star in a story all about Thanksgiving.  Students fill in some blanks (Mad Libs style) and a Thanksgiving story is generated with students as the stars of the story.  This is a quick but fun Thanksgiving activity for your students.


How to integrate A Thanksgiving Story into the classroom: Set up your classroom computers as a Thanksgiving publishing center where your students can quickly fill in the blanks and create a unique Thanksgiving story that stars them.  Make sure that you have a way for students to print or email the story home when they are finished.  The story would be a fun one for students to share at Thanksgiving dinner.  If you have access to a computer lab, students could work on these independently in about 10 minutes.


Tips: I learned about A Thanksgiving Story from @cindybrock on Twitter.  My PLN is the best!
