December Point-of-View Writing, Fun Narrative Writing from Multiple P.O.V.s!
Each group of students writes the story from a different character’s point-of-view! Fun December topics like “Penguins,” “Toy Store,” “Gingerbread House,” and “Package Delivery.” (*No specific holidays mentioned.)
Mooseltoe Writing Craft
“Mooseltoe,” by Margie Palatini, is one of my favorite read alouds for the season, with its zany story and masterfully fun language. And this writing activity and 3D craft brings the character to life while having students do some fun how-to writing! It’s part of my literature unit for the book.
