My students love love love this book. I read it to them, give them a family turkey project packet, and send them home to disguise a turkey of their own. I introduce them to text bubbles and have them write a sentence as the turkey. Then we do a writing assignment around the wanted poster.
Here are a couple of our turkeys in disguise from last year.
They have to use a few adjectives and a little math to describe their missing turkey. I put it all on the smartboard and show them what I want them to do.
Then I hang the finished projects in the hall for all to see. The wanted posters are put into a class 3-ring binder book that is rotated to each family and then the pages are put into individual scrapbooks for each student. It is a fun way to get the creative juices flowing and another inspiration for purposeful writing.
