Step by Step…

Step 1 Activate prior knowledge by discussing how one thing can turn into something completely different (i.e. caterpillar becomes a butterfly, wood becomes a house, seed becomes a flower).
Step 2

Read Tomorrow's Alphabet by George Shannon to the students. Show students the following Web site:
http://www.beavton.k12.or.us/greenway/leahy/98-99/tomorrow/tomorrow.htm


Step 3 Discuss the possibilities for a class book or slide show. Generate a list together as a class using the pattern from the book. Assign an alphabet letter to each student and have them create two pages for a book or slide show.
