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!
