Bear with me....no pun intended for those of you who have read the book... I want to explain this project for those who might want to tweek it and try it.
For this project, I read We're Going on a Bear Hunt by Michael Rosen with the kindergarten students. We then talked about adjectives (describing words) and identified both the thing the family has to go "through" and the adjectives describing it as well as the associated sound effects and hand motions. We then watched the video of Michael Rosen performing his book. I can't say enough about this video. I love it. The students love it. Enough said.
We then wrote our own book hunt traveling from their classrooms to the point of finding a book. The students brainstorm both the things they will need to pass "through" as well as the associated adjectives, sound effects and body movements. The students collaboratively wrote their adventure and made up hand or body movements. I then video taped the students. This was the first time video taping them and I learned quite a bit and have improvements in the works for next year.
