Activity Number One:
Engage kids in a fun, learning experience by exercising their descriptive writing skills. Have students partner up in pairs. Then have one student turn their desk facing the wall, and the other facing the board. The student facing the board will be the "writer" while the student facing the wall will represent the "reader". The teacher will put a picture on the board (i.e: a tree, teakettle, or bongo), then the "writer" will have to describe the picture to the "reader", using similes and metaphors. Once the activity is finished, the two switch.
Activity Number Two:
Have students draw a venn diagram, comparing the two protagonists in "Walk Two Moons". Have the kids identify the differences and similarities in the two characters, while also honing their writing skills.
Activity Number Three:
Have students act out a scene from the book "Walk Two Moons". Have kids memorize the scene, block it and present it to the class. It makes for a nice review game before the book test.
