Thanksgiving activites

Fun times for English! We've been learning to follow directions written and verbal. In class we were to follow verbal directions to make a turkey, then write directions to give to someone else to make our turkey. If we were successful, we would have two similar turkey's. Some students were very successul, and others...well... not so much. No matter what the results, we had fun.
