*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.
