Celebrate Reading with Character Doubles.
Idea by Sheila, 2nd Grade Teacher, Fairport, New York:
Each November I plan a "Dress-Like-a-Character Day" to celebrate National Book Week. Students must each read a book, choose a character from that book, make a list of the traits and qualities of that character, and then write a short report as if the student was that character. For the presentation, students dress like the character, act like the character (using props if desired) and pose for a photo that’s added to a bulletin board display, along with a character trading card, filled with information on the character. My students’ favorite part is seeing their teacher dressed like characters ranging from Miss Frizzle to Corduroy! It is a great way to promote reading and it is fun!
