Writing Project ~ Build a Jack-O-Lantern with Google Slides

Eric Curts has another great adventure for your students : Build a Jack-O-Lantern writing activity. This link goes straight to the slides to make a copy of.
  • Use with a descriptive writing lesson, a focus on adjectives, verbs, figurative language, etc.
  • Have students screenshot their pumpkins and share them with you to post on an online gallery to share your class "pumpkin patch".
  • Take it a step further and have students record their slide with Screencastify to bring their jack-o-lantern to life. QR code their video or use the Aurasma iPad app to link their jack-o-lantern to their video.
  • Invite another class to partner up with your students. Students walk their partners through a How-To create their jack-o-lantern. Each shares the original jack-o-lantern, along with the recreated one and reflect/discuss the process together.
Take or Toss!

If you're still reading, the background template is from SlidesCarnival. They have awesome Google Slides templates to use.
