I started reading this favorite book last week. My 2nd grade class LOVES it. Does anyone have any good follow up activities to this read aloud? I would like to do an art and writing project. Thanks in advance!

I, too, am reading CW to my second graders, and they love it, too. This summer a CW movie with live actors was supposed to come out. Last night I checked to see when it was coming out, and stumbled on this website: www.walden.com and they have lots of activities and downloads for teacehrs! Oh, by the way, it comes out in December, right in time for Christmas! Also, bookbagcompanion.com has a unit you can download. Enjoy!

I found this great quiz you could do in the computer room on a smartboard?? It's like Who Wants to be a Millionaire?

I also found another teacher created page with really cute things on it.

How about making stick puppets and retelling the story in a puppet show?
You can also pair it with nonfiction texts and read about pigs, spiders and farm life. In the past, we saw the Theaterworks production of CW and it was quite good. You can check out their website to see if they are coming to your neighborhood. Also, Dakota Fanning is starring in the new release this fall or winter. You might want to look that up on a movie website. One year I thought about having kids make a quiz book for Charlottes Web. THey could write questions that kids should be able to answer if they read the book. Then pass out copies for everyone. You can do crossword puzzles & word searches, paper machet and murals.....well, hope this helps.
