Greetings All! Thank you so much for stopping by my blog and spending a few minutes with me. If you are like me, you are counting down the days until Thanksgiving Break. I am so looking forward to sleeping in, spending time with family, and eating some great food. As we all prepare to relax and recharge, I wanted to share a few resources that I’ve created that might help the students stay engaged thus making the week pass by faster.
Thanksgiving Freebie - Are you more like a turkey or a cornucopia?
This is a divergent thinking task that I learned about in my Gifted Endorsement program. Divergent thinking is a thought process or method used to generate creative ideas by exploring many possible solutions. This is a Thanksgiving freebie that focuses on that concept. Students will analyze the characteristics of two objects and write about which one they are most like.
