Poster This activity is done prior to reading the book.
Students think about their own pet.
If they do not have a pet they think about one they would like. They write a three paragraph paper about their own pet. The final draft is glued on construction paper with a photo or drawing of the pet and displayed in the hall. They will then share these with each other. Then, as they read the book, they will compare the dog's care and treatment with that of other types of pets they have researched.
