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 used Pixabay for photos. 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.

DeleteWhat a terrific first comment! You asked which landmark was my favorite. I really liked the Taj Mahal slide. I liked the text, the color choices, and the thick border around the text.

Hi Class,
ReplyDeleteGreat job on this blog! I am Lois. I am a dog but I think I’m a pig. This blog made me want to travel but seeing Turkey on every page made me very hungry and ready for Thanksgiving. I can’t wait for all the yummy table scraps and for the little kids to drop their turkey on the floor! Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
Everyone's slide looks great!

Jambo my swahili friends! What a great story. Turkeys sure would love to explore the world instead of being stuck in America for Thanksgiving week! Keep up the great writing!
