Students begin by using plane shapes to assemble Rudolph, write an expository writing about what they did step by step, and end with an adorable art project.

The file includes directions, student resources, colorful anchor charts to use for reference. Older students can do this entire project independently and younger students will do well with this lesson as a whole class.

There are two parts to this Zip file. The PDF file allows you to print the pages exactly as you see them presented. The PowerPoint file is available for 23 pages, and provides you with the opportunity to add your own text boxes to customize your text. All the slides in this PowerPoint file are saved as a JPEG, which protects the intellectual property of the clip art designs included in this file. I included personalized examples from my own Parent Night handouts, to give you an idea of what to include, but the opportunity to type your own text.

1. Creative idea to display student writing for back to school bulletin board- includes colorful posters
