CULMINATING ACTIVITY
The fourth day into the lesson plan the students will find that the teacher has set up the room for a Gallery Walk. A gallery walk is when all of the students work is displayed for everyone to see. Next to each piece (project from lesson # 1, the stories created, and the illustrations created) there will be a sheet of paper and a pencil. The students will move around the room looking at the projects. If they would like to write a comment next to a certain project they are allowed to do so. The students beforehand are given instructions on how to move through the room. The students then walk back over and look at the responses they received on their cards and read them. The class will come together for one final discussion about the project, comment, the guiding question, and any information they would like to share.
