Expand on the Reading
Writing Connection
Have children write a story about travel. They can use the text as an example to imagine what it might be like to fly in a dirigible, or they can come up with another form of travel they would like to write about. It can be factual if they are not comfortable making up a narrative.
Art Connection
Have children research the types of transportation available today. They can select one form of transportation, then draw a picture, make a model, or write a description of it.
Social Studies Connection
Have children research the origins of one mode of transportation. Have them tell the class about what they have discovered.
Reading Independently
Have children read the book independently or with a partner. You can also encourage them to read other books of their choice at the appropriate level.
Home Connection
Have children take their book home and share what they have learned with a family member. Have them discuss with their family interesting things they have learned in class.
