One way to do this is to have students take turns reading questions and choices aloud. Other students will read along silently and identify choices. Pause to let students record their answer before going to the next question. Students will then draw the appropriate symbols on the Tooth Graphic sheet. The computer can be used as a tool to complete this activity, either as a whole class lab activity or a small group center activity.
Students can use a paint or drawing to create the glyph.
After the glyphs are printed out, construction paper can be used to make arms and legs. The key to the glyph can be printed and pasted to the back of the tooth glyph. The finished tooth creatures make a great book cover for a Top 10 Facts About Teeth Book or an original tooth tale.
