Thanksgiving Turkey Textual Analysis for ELA | Creative Thanksgiving ELA Project

Keeping students engaged around the Thanksgiving holiday can be very difficult! I like to throw in some holiday fun while still reviewing the standards. My students love to cut, color, and create a turkey - and I love when they analyze literature. :) With this project, students will analyze ANY book or short story using creative illustrations on turkey feathers. Each feather deals with a specific component of literary analysis such as theme, character development, symbolism, conflict, and imagery. I've also included a written component so that students are continuing to practice writing skills AND writing about a specific text. Of course the directions are fully editable, as well...you can tailor your turkey feathers to your students! :) 

When you purchase this product, you'll receive:

- A turkey template (body + 5 feathers)

- Student directions for how to illustrate the turkey

- A written component for students to reflect on what they drew and why

- A full, color example of a turkey + the written component
