We had been reading the book Because of Winn-Dixie during our reading block. The students have really enjoyed listening to the story. On Monday we finished the story and then the students chose their favorite part of the book and illustrated the scene. It was neat to look through the illustrations and see what they loved most about the book. Then we watched the movie. After we made a Venn diagram comparing the movie and the book. Then they had to write which one they like more and why. It was such a fun day!
I have yet to see that movie or read the book...i'll have to get the scoop from Nolan!
