Magic+Tree+House+Activity

Emily Olson

I read the Magic Tree House Book Polar Bears Past Bedtime and tied it to the subject of the Arctic. One activity I believe would connect this topic to the curriculum would be making a journal like Jack’s from the book and write journal entries from the perspective of someone living in the Arctic. This will target language arts, because the students are using writing skills in their journals, and social studies, because they are learning about a culture other than their own. I chose these areas to target because the language arts aspect allows students to share their ideas and respond to what they are reading, and social studies links to the book because students are learning about the Arctic throughout the whole text, and this allows them to show how much they have learned. This is a solid educational activity because it involves students in a hands on activity as they make their own individualized journals, which they then fill with their own perspectives about what they have learned from the book.
