Introduction

(5 minutes)
  • Call students together as a whole group.
  • Make a list with your class of food that reminds them of Thanksgiving. Students will probably mention things like turkeys, potatoes, corn, and pumpkin pie.
  • Once the list is complete, ask students to find pictures/drawings of any of these objects in the classroom. (They may point out holiday decorations, seasonal books, etc.)
  • Ask students if they have tried to draw any of these items themselves before. If they have, ask them about the process they used, what type of writing tool, etc.
