Spinning webs

Each year while reading Charlotte's Web, I have my students pretend to be Charlotte. They have to select one adjective not used in the novel that would describe Wilbur and help save him from being killed. Using a shoebox| and "spider web" (available around Halloween), they spin their own webs placing their selected adjective inside. They cover the inside of the shoebox with black paper first! Then, they write a paragraph justifying why they selected the adjective. I take their picture with our digital camera, and they insert their picture into a Word document including their paragraph. They absolutely love | |
this! Also, we put Charlotte into the webs (black spider rings). I have third graders, but I bet fifth graders would enjoy this as well! E-mail me if you have further questions and I'll send you a picture of one of the finished products.
