Earlier this school year, I introduced the celebrities to the concept of their schema. They really latched on to this concept and have consistently referenced their "schema files" throughout the year. I decided to incorporate some spooky spider fun into our schema learning. I gave the celebs a few minutes to write down what information they already had in their schema file on spiders. Next, they worked in trio groups to read non-fiction texts about spiders and to find three additional facts to add to their schema files. The celebrities were more than enthusiastic about finding out more creepy details about these creatures. Students were asked to record their 3 new facts on the "New Schema" strips. We even had a spider creep in to visit while the celebs were conducting their research.
Talk about spide-y senses!!
After the research was complete, the celebs shared their old and new schema with the cast and crew. They celebrated their new learning with spider rings and could now easily tell one spider fact for all 8 spider leg!
