On February 23, 2012 my 10-3 class was in the exploration phase of the short story “Stray” by Cynthia Rylant. The activity was to compose some sentences that would say what kind of dog you would be, what would be your name as a dog, and how you would want to be treated. Then the students will decorate the dogs as how they want to look as dogs. These are some of the pictures of my students working.
