    Sign of the Beaver

    This was the first novel I read this year with my fifth graders. One thing we did that I think they enjoyed was creating Indian stories with Indian pictographs. The children wrote the story, and where they could, they inserted a pictograph. For example: Matt and Attean walked down to the river. The symbol for river is a double curvy line (resembling a river), and the kids wrote the words Matt and Attean walked down to the (pictorgraph). Afterwards, they read the stories, then we displayed them.
