Spoiler Alert: My favorite activity is #3. I love reading the two books Turkey Trouble and 'Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving (both about eating turkeys for Thanksgiving) and then comparing and contrasting the two books about the same topic. The kids eat it up, no pun intended. I like to follow that activity up with an opinion writing piece found in my November Writing Activities where the students pretend they are the turkey and write a persuasive letter about why families should NOT eat turkey for Thanksgiving dinner. They always turn out SO CUTE!
