We just finished reading the book Because of Winn-Dixie so what should we do next? Of course we should have a "Winn-Dixie" party and watch the movie. We mirrored the party that the characters in the book and movie had while still keeping it educational. Students were asked to take notes during the movie and compare/contrast the similarities and differences between the two. They are now writing an essay comparing the two. Who says reading and writing can't be fun?
We always have fun in Mrs. Charlton's Class!
