Makerspace Activity: Christmas Trolls Christmas READ ALOUD

Christmas Makerspace/STEM brings Christmas Trolls to life! Your students will experience a choice of close reading activities focused on the standards of characters, retelling, main idea/theme, vocabulary, and point of view. Then the little engineers in them will solve the problem of one or more of the characters. A conversation about push and pull brings science into literature!
