This is a chance to turn trash into art à la Opal.Thrill-O-RamaCOMMON CORECONNECTIONSJudy Moody prepares a chart to tracka summer of thrills for her and all herfriends. What she didn’t count on wasthat her friends might not all be homefor the summer. How can Judy’s thrillscompete with circus camp and Borneo?Have students create their own chartsof activities ranging from the most“thrilling” thing they have ever doneto the “lamest.” Students should try tothink of as many experiences as theycan and then assign thrill points to eachevent. Have students decorate and/orillustrate their chart before presenting itto the rest of the class.Speaking and ListeningEngage effectively in a range ofcollaborative discussions.COMMON CORECONNECTIONSSpeaking and ListeningEngage effectively in a range ofcollaborative discussions.Writing StandardsWrite narratives in which theyrecount a well-elaborated event.Research to Build and PresentKnowledgeParticipate in shared researchand writing projects.Vocabulary Acquisition andUseDemonstrate understanding ofword relationships and nuancesin word meanings.Gross Grub ClubAunt Opal inducts Judy and Stink intothe Gross Grub Club by having them eathot dogs dipped in tangerine fondue.Then (unbeknownst to all of them) theyalmost have a poop picnic! Ask studentswhat strange things they’ve eaten or haveknown someone else to eat. Create yourown Gross Grub Club by making a class list of alliterative gross-food phrases(such as poop picnic, Bigfoot barf, and tangerine toes). The only caveat is thatthe students must explain what the phrase means. For example, tangerine toesmight simply be the yolks of hard-boiled eggs. For fun, bring in various fooditems to use as prompts and brainstorming tools. The final Gross Grub Club listcould be written on a large piece of white poster board in the shape of a slice ofbread and hung in the classroom.Judy Moody and the NOT Bummer Summer Teachers’ Guide Candlewick Press page 2www.judymoody.com www.candlewick.comJudy Moody .
