Several of you have asked what activities I am planning to go along with story:
When the students arrive at library I will great them at the door, and the door
windows will be covered with construction paper. I will let them in one at a time
with the instruction that they are to select one balloon and hold onto it and sit
at the working tables. I have prepared some simple templates for a writing
exercise. Referring to the film, each balloon had a crayon color name. Students
will be asked to name their color creatively. The bolloons also had special powers
based on who they belonged to ... I will be asking them to write what special power
their balloon has. They will write a simple descriptive paragraph and we will
share them.
Balloons are just playful and fun, I'm thinking we can play musical
balloons....same as chairs, only need to grab a string. And finally we will watch
the movie with our balloon..... if anyone else has ideas to share, please post them.
