*writing about what it would be like to be flat Other activities I do to extend the story include: Depending on the amount of parent involvement, I've seen anything from a whole scrapbook filled with pictures of the adventure to just a simple adventure written out by the student. When they return from spring break, each student reads their adventure to the class and shares any pictures or trinkets they've returned with. I just find that my students REALLY enjoy spending their spring break doing fun things with their flat characters. We don't send our flat people off on an adventure like most (although I've done it this way as well). I encourage pictures or anything to make the project more creative, but don't require it. I send their flat people home right before spring break starts with a letter explaining the project and some writing paper for each student to write about the adventures they take with their flat person. On the outside of the "sleeping bag" I type out and glue down a little piece of paper that reads "Here's a safe place for me when I'm not on an adventure ZZZZzzzzzzzz" The kids love these! I also make a little "sleeping bag" for their flat characters using a library card pocket. I laminate them so they are nice and sturdy. Then I take digital pictures of each student and attach their heads to the decorated bodies. I have them color a body pattern decorating the shirt, pants, and shoes to look like their own clothes.
Each student makes a "flat" version of themselves. I always coordinate this unit close to our spring break. I love doing the Flat Stanley project with my 2nd grade students each year.
