My second English class went equally as smoothly. I read Shel Silverstein’s “The Giving Tree,” to the students. It is a great story about a relationship between a boy and a tree. We went over the vocabulary and then the students broke up into pairs and read different sections of the story. Next they were required to act out the scene of the story that they had. We put them all together so that the class acted out the entire story and so that everyone would understand.
After acting out the story we took some time to write poetry about trees, nature, really whatever they wanted and then they presented those. This was also a good class, students participated and there was an end product, which is always rewarding for everyone involved.
