Steps Taken to Complete this
*Turkey Takes a Vacation*
photo album
First, we read Turkey Trouble, by Wendi Silvano. The funny fantasy follows our feathered friend as he finds out what Americans feast upon for Thanksgiving.
Second, we selected an exotic vacation location for Turkey. (If he left America over Thanksgiving break, he would not get eaten.)
Third, we researched an international landmark using Encyclopedia Britannica Online.
Fourth, we located the international landmark on Google Earth. We took a "vacation" screenshot. Pegman was helpful! The screenshot was uploaded to our class collaborative slide show.
Fifth, we used our facts to create a story about Turkey's time at an international landmark.

Dear Students,
ReplyDeleteThanks for getting me out of America for Thanksgiving! I enjoyed my time away and am glad to be back.
Which was your favorite location to visit and why?
From,
Thomas T. Turkey
Dear Class,
ReplyDeleteI think the Sydney Opera House is the best location to visit as the tour guide Sydney told us the rooftop of the Sydney Opera House is what it is famous for.
By the way, great job everyone! All the slides look great.

Dear Sydney Bear,
DeleteI like your recommendation for the Sydney Opera House in Australia. Perhaps next Thanksgiving I will head to the Southern Hemisphere and see it.
When was the Sydney Opera House Built?
From,
Thomas T. Turkey
Dear Class,
DeleteConstruction began for the Sydney Opera House in 1959, and it opened in 1973! So it took 14 years to be built!

Wow! I learned so much from all your hard work researching to save a turkey! Now I have many places on my bucket list to travel to as well! Great work!
ReplyDeleteDear Principal G.,
DeleteThank you for your kind words. We have a couple of questions for you:
1. What is at the top of your bucket list and why?
2. If you were a turkey, where would you go?
Your adoring turkeys,
The Turkeys
Im really lucky that I have been to visit the Sydney Opera House and was able to go there early this year, so it was really awesome to be sitting on the steps (it was the first time that I have ever been there) and it was in another country, I live in New Zealand and it was Australia! Is there anywhere else that your class would love to go to?
ReplyDeleteMr Webb, Auroa Primary School, New Zealand
Dear Mr. Webb,
DeleteWow! Our first international comment!
No one from our class has ever been to the Sydney Opera House, not even the teacher.
Did you enjoy any music in the Opera House?
What was your favorite part about it?
What is a famous landmark in New Zealand?
It will be winter here soon. What season is it where you live?
Warmly,
Mrs. Yollis' students
Dear Turkey Falling Off the Colosseum,
DeleteWe liked how fabulous your tour guide explained the history of your landmark. Did you recover from your fall or did you go to the hospital?

Hi it's Emma and Samantha!
DeleteThe Eiffel Tower was are favorite passage
We read about the Eiffel Tower and are amazed by what you wrote. I didn't know the 2nd floor had glass elevators and a shop wow! I think you guys did a great job typing.
What made you pick the Eiffel Tower?
From,
Sammi and Emma
Dear Colosseum Turkey, I know that the Eiffel Tower has cool views of Paris France and lights up every hour after 5:00. Even though the French didn’t like it and almost got torn down 7 times they learned to live with it. The treats there are scrumptious. I hope you enjoy it too as much as Turkey and Aubri did!
DeleteWhat fact did you like the best?
Sincerely Gumball/French Turkey.
Dear Emma and Sammi , well I think we need a little idea because it can lead to some big projects. Your question is not an easy answer but I guess it was just like gravity pulling me to it. I think you guy’s have a lot of questions with a lot of different answers and I do too. Thank you for your amazing question. What fact do you like?
DeleteSincerely Paris Turkey

ReplyDeleteDear Turkeys,

Dear Falling Turkey from France,
ReplyDeleteI'm going to France during spring break. Is going to the top of the Eiffel Tower fun? Also are the baguettes good?
From,
Colosseum Turkey
Dear Emma and Sammi ,
DeleteYou asked why I chose the Eiffel Tower. Your question is not an easy answer, but I guess it was just like gravity pulling me to it. My neighbors went there, and I thought I'd like it too.
What fact about the Eifflel Tower do you like?
Sincerely ,
Paris Turkey
