Each student gets one turn before any student can have a second turn. Facts written should be short, not long paragraphs. Facts can be challenged or a student can ask for more information by writing questions beside the facts. Students work on picture collage illustrating physical characteristics of wolves. Students use different fonts, font sizes, and font colors to print adjectives and adverbs about wolves and make a word collage.
Students draw a wolf habitat scene illustrating the pack concept.
The media specialist plays 6 clips each day. After this activity, teacher and media specialist lead discussion of questions and students' answers. Students write letters to either group of Sneetches or the character who sells stars, giving their point of view on the issues of stereotype and bias. Discussion centers on what the collective image is and what is missing from this image of children in the media. Students come to the media center for a 45-minute visit to watch clips of children and teenagers as portrayed on television programming and commercials.
