After reading "The Princess And The Pea" have students conduct an experiment to see how royal they are. Using a marble and pillows (seat cushions would work well), see how many pillows it takes until you can no longer feel the marble under you. Could graph results as well.

Build a structure with legos.  Have two sets of legos (possibly two different colors).  Add a lego for each text feature you can identify and add a lego for each text feature you can explain.  Could make towers or allow the students to make their own structure.

Use cubes to build a Lion in the story "Library Lion". Use Pipe cleaners to create a smile, frown, and happy face, etc.... to show how a character changes emotions throughout a story. Students will write in the graphic organizer the different feelings and what part of the story it occurred in and why the character was feeling that way.

Using unifix cubes with beginning, middle, and end. As students tell the parts of the story, they stack cubes to keep track of the part they are on (green - beginning, yellow - middle (more than 1), and red - end).

Using unifix cubes and 1 color counter students will have read a text and have to create 2 different setting from the story using the blocks. They will use the counter as the character and talk to the teacher or partner about two things that occur at the first setting then they will move the character to the second character to the second setting and tell two more things that occur at the second setting. They can then record on Seesaw or Flipgrid or write in a response journal.

Using pipe cleaners, build the straw house from the Three Little Pigs story.  Create the wolf character using Legos.  Second thing in that setting, the wolf blows the straw house down (pipe cleaners are now all over the area.)

Second setting, same character of the wolf. This time house is build of brick (unifix cubes). Wolf tries to blow house down and fails. House remains standing.

Use two different colored pattern blocks to identify what the two settings are. For each event that happens in the settings, add additional unifix cubes to each color to identify events that happen in the separate settings.

Create a tower using Tinker Toys to demonstrate the character changes from the beginning, middle, and end of a text. We specifically thought you could demonstrate character change with the book "The Invisible Boy".

# data[].attributes.body
Create a set of Duplo blocks with adjectives and/or pictures of emotions. Students describe a characters feelings and how they change from the beginning to end of the story by building a tower of blocks. Students support descriptions using words from the story.
