We started the activity by completing the graphic organizer while chewing the bubble gum. Then, they added some super duper adjectives to a "bubble" sheet (see below). Next, they took their original "boring" sentences and added the adjectives to make their writing more detailed and exciting. We "popped" it off with an adorable art project.

The teacher next door had a bubble blowing contest with her students! Lucky kiddos!
Hmmmm...since this picture was taken our balloons have mysteriously started to deflate! Is it the temperature in the building? Some pesky fingers tapping on the balloons?
This just might be the start of an investigation!!

This is great. I am thinking of doing a "how-to" write/craftivity every month. This one will definitely be in the line up. Thanks for sharing.
Love It!! I am your newest follower: )
I really love this idea. Thank you for sharing it! We are starting How To writing when we go back in January and I know my students will really get into this one. Do you have any great ideas for "How To" mentor texts to introduce this genre?
