Turkey in Disguise

Yesterday we started our Turkey in Disguise project.  I introduced the project by reading the story Turkey Trouble. In the story the turkey doesn't want to get eaten for Thanksgiving dinner so he dresses up as other animals to try to trick the farmer. The only problem is that his disguises are not very good and all the other animals know it is him. At the end of the story, the turkey comes up with his best disguise yet and dresses up as a pizza delivery guy and the family  has pizza for Thanksgiving  dinner instead of turkey.  

Your project is to help turkey disguise himself so that he is not eaten on Thanksgiving. I sent home a turkey template. Please CUT OUT the turkey and disguise him as something other than a turkey. Remember, we have some very smart farmers around here so make sure your turkey does not resemble a turkey!!!! Once you have completed your turkey disguise, please return the turkey to school.  We need the turkeys back no later than Tuesday, November 12th.

Once we have our turkeys back (and in full disguise) we are going to write a persuasive paper on why you should NOT eat our turkey.  Your turkey and the persuasive paper will be hung on display outside our classroom for everyone to see. :) 

Here are a couple of examples of how you could disguise your turkey. Use your imagination and creativity!!!!

Have fun and I can't wait to see your turkeys!!!
