Here are 4+ activity sheets to print and use after you’ve read The Legend of the Poinsettia by Tomie dePaola, to your students.
Comprehension Sheet - This sheet asks students to draw and write about their favorite part, list five character traits that describe Lucinda, answer some questions related to story, and write about something their family celebrates on the back of the paper. *Answer Key included for this sheet. (1 page + answer key)
Story Map - Students use words and/or pictures to fill in the characters, setting, beginning, middle, end, and moral of the story. (1 page)
Poinsettia Acrostic Poem - Students write and decorate a poem using the word “Poinsettia”. (1 page)
Poinsettia Themed Writing Paper - Use these generic papers for your own writing prompts. There are 3 versions - each with 3 types of writing lines. (9 pages).
Great for those last days before the Winter Break or to leave for a substitute!
You are purchasing 2 figurative language games ready to print.
These are a fun way to reinforce the literary device concepts and vocabulary! Perfect for a Center activity since it is self-checking!
Game #1: simile, metaphor, personification, hyperbole
Game #2: puns, alliteration, idiom, onomatopoeia
For each game, there are 8 game cards for each concept, 32 total. Each card has a color graphic on it that matches a box on the Answer Board. After a student states which literary device is being used, he places it on the Answer Board on top of the matching clip art. If the answer was correct, he gets to color in a square on the reproducible Game Board. Play goes back and forth until one student gets 4 In a Row colored.
It's easy to do variations of the game just like BINGO. Players can agree that they will get 5 in a row, or 4 in the shape of a stamp to win.
You will want to print these games ahead of time as a bit of preparation is needed. You will have to cut out the game cards and glue the 3 page answer board together.
You can photocopy the game board or mount it on construction paper and laminate it to use with vis a vis markers over and over again.

Then they make (DO) the poster. Finally, after they print it, they REVIEW what they liked about their poster and what they would do differently next time.
I've done this project successfully with 1st grade students just beginning to learn basic computer skills. Step by step teacher directions are provided so you can break the project into simple tasks for the students.
