What educators are saying
Description
The *BEST* ANTICIPATION GUIDE EVER.
In the past, this story always used to put my students to sleep. I came up with this pre-reading activity, and my students really got into it. They even stayed awake for the story! It allows them to connect with the man and imitate the difficulties of starting a fire with cold, frostbitten hands and recognize the struggles the man faces. Through a couple different simple written cues, students must work without the use of their fingers and/or hands.
