Literary Graffiti

Literary Graffiti
During the Reading classes, the sixth graders are created some graffiti. We are incorporating Dr. Seuss books to discuss the meaning of Theme. The students will be assigned a group and book. Here is an example of the guidelins the students will follow.


Please check in with your teacher after you complete each step!
Our Dr Seuss Book is __________________________________________________
The Theme of this book is _______________________________________________
Class Meeting 1:
_____ We read out Dr. Seuss book and wrote the title on the appropriate line
_____ We agreed on a general theme/lesson of our book and wrote it on the right line
Class Meeting 2:
_____ We picked a quote from our book that connects to our theme and wrote it in the quote box
_____ We summarized what the quote was about
_____ We created a DEEP visual representation (symbol) of the quote in color on a separate sheet of blank white paper
Class Meeting 3:
_____ We explained how our symbol relates to the quote
_____ We explained why this quote is significant (important) to the story
_____ We practiced, and we're ready to present our Literary Graffiti to the class TOMORROW!
Class Meeting 4: PRESENT TO THE CLASS
