Here's a fun FREE activity to use this month to practice close reading poetry! 🕷
teacherspayteachers.com
This fun freebie includes the poem, The Spider by Jane Taylor (1883) and a guiding question for the first, second, and third reads of the poem. Possible answers are also provided. Check out my blog postLet's get in the mood for fall! Grab free activities to use with the mentor text, Scarecrow by Cynthia Rylant (affiliate link for the book: amzn.to/2ygNFi4). The book shows students life from a scarecrow's point of view. Students will summarize the book, find evidence in the story that the scarecrow enjoys his life, and see how Cynthia Rylant uses language to help the reader visualize. Students will practice "show don't tell" writing as they write their own version of the story from a scarecrow's point of view!
