A Different Way to Tell the Christmas Story

Created by

Something Different to Try

Try sharing the Christmas story from Luke 2 in a different way. Perhaps a pass-it-sequence story telling time or from the point of view of personified characters of the story. A Hand-y Chart helps students use sensory processing to think about the story in terms of another viewpoint. What might the sheep have smelled, tasted, seen, heard? What if the manger told the story? Or a little snake that was hiding in the rocks of the stable cave? It's something different to try.

Frayer Model Worksheet-4 words

Created by

Souder's Education Shop

The use of the Frayer Model is a wonderful vocabulary tool, especially in the science classroom! This tool can be used in any subject area! In science, students are taught how to apply, not just memorize. So why should vocabulary terms be any different? Use this to help your students retain science concepts more readily by allowing them to alter a definition into their own words!
