Battlin' It Out!: A Simple and Sporty Writing Activity

During writing!  That's right.  Today we read the book Shark vs. Train
Such a funny and creative way to compare and contrast two objects!

Before reading the book, we predicted who would win.  The vote was split 50-50!  Throughout the book, the setting continuously changes.  This would help one of the characters win and hinder the other, causing them to lose.  Hilarious!  After reading the book, we created a chart displaying who won during each situation/setting.  Who won?!  See for yourself below!
The kids were so excited about the book that they wanted to create their own stories!  I can't wait for them to finish up so I can share them with you!  Fun times!  Happy Wednesday!
