Look What's Hiding in the Snow!

I love this writing project. The students think of an animal or object and make a list of clues to describe it starting with a broad and general tip and ending with a clue that is easy. They really have fun writing and drawing in secret and making their animal hidden on the paper and then using whiteout to hide it with an acetate liner. Thank goodness for classroom volunteers that can have students go to another room to work in private on this very secretive writing project. They then love presenting to the class their clues and see if the students can guess the animal or object before the last clue and then show the item hidden under the snow. Don't forget you can see all of the students with their projects on the January Picture page of our classroom website. Thanks to Christinia Bainbridge for thinking of this project.
