We have wrapped up our Seuss unit with reading and having a class discussion on The Lorax. Some students were aware of the story from the movie version. After our discussion the students brainstormed things that the Lorax would say to the Once-ler if he were given the chance.
Students then chose one of these sentences – or created their own – and wrote it on a Truffula tree. These were then decorated, cut out, and are posted on the bulletin board above their ‘What’s Happening in Whoville’ designs.
All in all, I think that the students have enjoyed our time with Dr. Seuss. There are a few more books that I will read (tomorrow or early next week) as a final goodbye.
