Our first graders worked tirelessly last week to complete a travel brochure. They took on the role as a travel writer and travel agent. They researched different habitats and worked within a partner to create a travel brochure for that habitat. Students asked luring questions like "Do you want to go on a sea adventure?". Then they had to use their senses to describe what someone would feel, see, hear or even smell or taste in their habitat. They also had to color code a map showing where there habitat was in the world as well as what gear someone would need when traveling there.
To conclude this activity, we invited our reading buddies down to persuade them to visit our habitat. I was so proud of the 1st graders, once they heard the call for all travel agents to begin selling, they went to work! They were shaking their brochures, asking their luring questions, then once they hooked someone's attention, they taught them all about their habitat. The 4th grade reading buddies were very impressed and wanted to visit the habitats! It was a great morning!
