Thanksgiving Activities for Reading and Writing, Grades 4-8

Forget your old Thanksgiving lesson plans! Your students do NOT want to hear about the first Thanksgiving, and they DEFINITELY do NOT want to write dull paragraphs about the things they are thankful for.

Seriously. They DON’T!

Spice up your lesson plans with this DIFFERENT differentiated unit for Thanksgiving!

Your students will:

• View and analyze a video clip about innovative humane practices at turkey farms and processing plants.

• View a video clip on cooking your first turkey. Take notes in a series of tasks with a note taking form.

• Turn notes into a recipe for baking a turkey.

• Turn recipe into an explanatory paragraph.

• Complete a Turkey Fun Facts Internet Scavenger Hunt.
