Crafty Readers is for grades 2 & 3.
The Book: Haggis and Tank Unleashed, by Jessica Young and Ill by James Burke
The Program: For the first 20 minutes we had a discussion of the book. We discussed the following questions:
- What did you think about the book? What did you like/dislike about it? Score on a scale of 1-10.
- How are Haggis and Tank the same? How are they different?
- In All Paws on Deck, Haggis and Tank pack chew toys, life jackets, a compass, a telescope, a bailing bucket, and a whistle. If you could pack five things to take on a sailing adventure, what would they be?
- In All Paws on Deck, Haggis and Tank hitch a ride with a sea serpent. If they had to get home as quickly as possible in their ship, what are some other things they could try? (Questions inspiration)
The Activity: Treasure Maps! We used cut up paper bags, paper, toilet paper rolls, cotton balls, pom-poms, craft gems, etc. to create our own treasure maps, inspired by the one used by Haggis and Tank.
