Title - Bird Houses - Making a Book
By - Amanda Thompson
Subject - Science, Language Arts
Grade Level - 1st-3rd
Objectives:
-- To build students' concepts about the various places that birds live
-- To have students visually represent and write about that concept
-- To have students begin to view themselves as authors by writing a book.
Material Needed:
-- White paper
-- Construction paper
-- Pencils, Crayons, scissors and a stapler
Procedures:
1. Ask students questions: Have you seen bird nests? Where have you seen bird nests? Do you think some birds live in places other than nests?
2. After reading Where Do Birds Live? to the class, have the students brainstorm a list of places where birds live (nests, bird houses, trees, sides of buildings, etc.). This list should be recorded by the teacher on the board or on chart paper.
3. Each child receives four pieces of white paper to be stapled together as a book, and two pieces of construction paper for the front and back.
4. On every page, students write a sentence about one place where a bird might live (example: "Some birds build their nests on our school building!" or "Birds moved into the birdhouse in our backyard.")
5. Students draw pictures on the opposite pages to illustrate their sentences.
6. On the front of the book, students write the title of the book and their name and draw a picture.
7. Students can volunteer to read their books to the class in the author's chair, or books can be shared with other classes or teachers in the school.
