Thanksgiving Writing With a Very Persuasive Pigeon!

Happy Saturday!  I thought I'd pop in to share some Thanksgiving 

writing we did this week with one very persuasive turkey pigeon!

Poor Tom Turkey doesn't want to be eaten on Thanksgiving 

so he disguises himself as the Pigeon! 

Tom Turkey asked my students help him by persuading their 

families to eat hot dogs instead of turkey for their holiday meal! 

And according to Tom, hot dogs really are better!

My class came up with lots of good reasons to eat 

hot dogs on Thanksgiving!

Students brainstormed all of their reasons on this variation 

of a bubble map,

then chose their best three to write inside their Pigeon booklets.

Those sunglasses do me in every time! Ha!

We took it a step further this year after I added some 

fun publishing paper.

Students wrote these persuasive paragraphs with lots 

of reasons why they should have hot dogs for 

Thanksgiving dinner!

Our Kinders-across-the-hall love passing by our turkeys in 

disguise each day!

You can find this fun twist on disguise-a-turkey in my TPT shop!
