3: Dragon instruction writing: vocabulary, grammar, art activities & templates
- Google Slides™
- Prezis
Description
This purchase is for Unit Three of a whole topic which has been created to inspire outstanding writing in students.
The unit is loosely based on Cressida Cowell's 'How to train a dragon,' however it isn't necessary for students to be familiar with the book.
Unit Three covers poetic language, art and story-telling.
The google doc links to a prezi (on the second page via the prezi icon or the text in bold).
The prezi gives students an example of a simile poem and then breaks the steps down into discussion prompts to scaffold students' own creations of a simile poem.
To aid students as they paint their dragon with words, the prezi also demonstrates in steps how to draw a dragon - and in more detail, how to draw a dragon's eye.
Finally, students are encouraged to start their story and are given a template for writing abou their first meeting with the dragon.
