Thanksgiving Week Idea #3 - Have Fun With Listening and Writing

Your Students Become Police Sketch Artists to Aid the Police in Catching "Terrence the Terrorist Turkey"  Before He Ruins Thanksgiving for Everyone!

This is one of my favorite activities for Thanksgiving week.  My students love this one so much that I have packaged it as a Teachers Pay Teachers product, so everyone can enjoy it with their class!

As with all of my Criminal Character products, there is a fun story that requests your students help in catching a dastardly criminal out to ruin the holiday for everyone.  Your students are recruited as police sketch artists to help save the day!

All of these Criminal Character activities require good listening skills, as the students need to listen to the witness description and then create a sketch that the police can use to catch the bad guy!  The product includes note taking sheets, a wanted poster template for their illustrations, and a follow-up writing activity in which the students retell the story from the criminal's point of view.

This is a fun activity for your class, but very Common Core aligned for you!
