At the end of each unit I try to have a culminating celebration where the kiddos can share their learning. For reading units though, it's often hard to find something that wraps up our learning in a shareable way. Fortunately, at the end of our character unit, we had the perfect way to display our learning -- the kiddos used everything they had discovered about their characters to create riddles.
{For our bulletin board, I drew the Lilly and Owen mice.}
The kiddos were so excited to write riddle clues! They kept hiding their papers and giggling to themselves. They had to use their character's appearance, actions, and traits to develop the questions so this was also an informal assessments to see if they could determine defining characteristics. The kiddos' riddles turned out great! They've been having a lot of fun flipping up the questions every time they walk through the hallway. I'll probably keep the bulletin board up for another couple of weeks until they finally get tired of reading the same riddles again and again. :)
