    My students were working on first, next and last in ELA. I thought this would work really well with it being St. Patrick’s Day. I didn’t use the book but I had them use the one page graphic organizer to plan their own trap. Then I had them cut all the other things and make their own leprechaun jumping out of the box. My students enjoyed it and was excited to bring them home to show their families.

    My students struggle greatly with doing any task independently. I challenged them with this and asked them to complete one page per day and it got them very excited to create their traps at the end.
