Why Not to Eat Turkey!

 

Students make a large turkey:

 

circle - body

2 rectangles - legs

feathers - 8

wings - 2

face and feet - (I photocopied a reproducible and they coloured it in)

Then they had to write a paragraph convincing others not to eat turkey.

 

1st line - Introduce themselves (they are talking as if they were the turkey) "Hi my name is Tom the turkey and I hear it is Thanksgiving next week."

2nd - 4th lines - They have to tell  why people should not eat turkey (be creative )  I had everything from them being infected with the West Nile Virus to giving people gingivitis

5th line - Give an alternative food to eat and why it is SO much better than turkey. (Be creative again)

6th line - Concluding sentence

These were very cute, made a nice display and parents loved them.
