Birds Of A Feather

The first week of class presentations, the second group to go made a lesson using birds. They showed us a video in the beginning and asked us what it was about. The video showed that you shouldn't judge someone based on what they look like or if they are different and in the end the different bird got its revenge on the rest of the birds. For their lesson, they had us create 3-D birds which had a description along with it. They started out with having us brainstorm what our bird's name was and what it's description was. We each got a template that we cut out to make the bird and then we had to color it and make our descriptions come to life. After we put it together and colored it we punched holes into the wings and the middle of the bird to put strings on it to look like its flying.

As an extension activity, we could focus on characters and how they act and what motivates them to be like that. We could look at stories and plays and try to reenact each character and try to be unique in their own way. Then after all of that, we could have all the students create their own character and each student would go up and act it out and the rest of the students guess what kind of character they are trying to become.


I created Rosta Fly Marley. He likes to fly high with his homies. He chills at his crib, making the music of his soul. Also, he tends to get hungry a lot, which means he is always in search for food.
