Student Activity – 20 min
- Using the vocabulary paper, have students illustrate a picture of one of the vocabulary words from the book. (Students can draw a picture of a chrysalis from the butterfly book).
- Students can add a caption to the bottom of their picture or write the definition. (ex. Caterpillars make a chrysalis while they change into a butterfly.)
- When done students can play PBS Book Jumble on the computer or iPad. This activity can be found under Student: Week 1 Day 3. This game has the students put a book back together by matching words to definitions. This game as an easy and hard mode. The easy mode will give pictures for the words and read the definition for the students.
