Teacher Directions
I will begin by reading Flat Stanley to the class. We will discuss the
different places that he went. I will explain to the class that the will be
making their own Flat Stanley, and keeping a journal of everything they
have done that week with him.
Student Directions
Students will create their own unique Flat Stanley. They will cut out their
Flat Stanley. They will be in charge of keeping up with Flat Stanley for a
week and writing in their journal what they do each day of the week. They
will have the option to take pictures of them and Flay Stanley, or they can
draw a picture of what they did that day to go along with the journal entry.
