Charlotte's Web Activities

In anticipation for the upcoming movie Charlotte's Web, I had my University Students read the book in class, and then create lesson plans and activities based on the ABC comprehension model. The lesson plans are quite comprehensive and far too extensive to post. However, I will share some of the examples that were submitted with their lesson plans. Several examples include technology integration ideas.Thankyou Jennifer Wagner of TECHNOSPUD'S CHARLOTTE'S WEB PROJECT for providing a place to post their work.

 CHARACTER SONG

(can include audio)

Students can take familar melodies and write songs about Charlotte or Wilbur

 Web or Acrostics without using technology

Students create Friendship or name acrostics.

Students create adjective webs using yarn or wet spaghetti. Webs can describe any of the characters in the story.

 

CHARACTER-GROWTH-DEVELOPMENT-CHANGE 

(can use Scholastic Key's Max Write or Max Show)

Students follow a person's character traits throughout the story. They must find sentneces in the book that show how the character has changed....At the beginning of the story Fern protects Wilbur from being killed because he is a runt. In the middle of the story Fern spends every day after school watching Wilbur and the other farm animals.

 

At the end of the story Fern is more concerned about spending time with Henry Fussy than with watching Wilbur win his prize at the fair.
