Not only have we used this text to help us prepare for the types of questions we can anticipate when writing EQAO, but we've done research, learned an adorable new song (we're hoping to make a video on Monday!) talked about idioms ("you're a real night owl") and, as many parents and families already know, learned how to draw an owl (thank you for coming in on Monday to help!)!
It's certainly been a great two-week study of these very interesting and mysterious creatures!
As mentioned, we had our text of the week test on Friday and, as you can see, one member of room 208 came dressed for the occasion!
If you'd like to try this directed drawing activity with your students, you can find the video I created below. There's no sound so that the video can be played on a loop in a large group setting.
