Comic Strips

We made comic strips to show what the Wampanoags may have been thinking when they met the Pilgrims.  We used different apps to take photos, draw, and did image searches online and combined the results using our Comic Book app.

Class Poem: I Wish

I wish I could see my future.

I wish the school was made of blue, red, and orange gummy bears.

I wish I could swim in a sea of turquoise blue.

I wish I had the power of fire.

I wish I could climb a mountain that was 1,000,000,000,000,000 feet high.

I wish that the whole class was made out of chocolate cake.

I wish I could breath underwater.

I wish I was an eagle swooping down with the wind to get my prey.

I wish I could climb the Great Wall of China.

I wish I had a white silk dress that swirled like a snowstorm in St. Petersburg.

I wish that I was a wolf with gold eyes and grey and white fur.

I wish I could turn into a silvery fish and swim below the waves.

I wish I had one hundred books at my house.

I wish to be in Seattle among the blue and lime green. 

I wish that I was back in Pennsylvania where my heart is.

Thanks to Diana (poet and mother) for leading us in this writing activity!

How did the change in season affect the lives of the Wampanoag?

To find out, we took some notes from a really awesome website. 

We had to read and then determine the main idea of each paragraph.  Then we had to summarize what we learned.
