JOHNNY APPLESEED QUILT - STUDY OF TALL TALE


Read and discuss Johnny Appleseed. Then write major points from the story that students recall on the board. Have each student choose one of the points to draw and color. After doing detailed pencil drawings, the students need to get the teacher to write what the drawing is about, in black marker . The students color with markers. Make sure you review "coloring rules": 1. cover all the space. 2. color in one direction. 3. color neatly. Collect the pages and laminate. Then punch holes in the corners. Remember that the pages that are on the outside corners will not have 4 hole punches, so lay out the quilt before you punch. Use brown yarn to connect the corners. If you have extra spaces, use one laminated sheet as a title, one sheet as concepts learned, and one sheet as the illustrator section. Post the TALL TALE QUILT in the hallway and take a picture to put on your class Website. When your study is completed and you take down the quilt, take apart and put student pages in their Journal/Memory Book.
