Planes, Trains, and Automobiles Thematic Literacy Unit - Hot Rod Hamster


After reading the fantastic book Hot Rod Hamster by Cynthia Lord we had a class discussion about what a junkyard is.  We then discussed the types of things the used to build a Hot Rod.  I told my class that they were going to build their own Hot Rod.  Instead of going to the junkyard for their parts, they will use the shapes on the shape papers I gave them.  They used four or more shapes to build their Hot Rod.  They also drew themselves, the hamster, or another driver in the Hot Rod, include the checkered flag and their fans in the audience.  Their creations were SO creative!!  They had a blast with this activity!
