Students will write a scene in a restaurant in which they use their original menus. Students will be asked to indicate and name the parts on an actual car, choosing any 20 parts. They will also invent their own chant to perform with their daisy. The whole class goes for a drive in the school van and simulates a flat tire. They discuss and find the solution.
Students write a scene taking place in a gas station.
They can ask for a fill-up and directions. As a final project, students write a news program. The students will be responsible for all details, including deciding which student does each scene, who the anchors will be, and who will do the videotaping. The program will be presented to other classes and to parents.
