Second Grade- Tar Beach









In this lesson we read Tar Beach by Faith Ringgold. When we finished reading we turned off the lights and imaged we were flying in Tar Beach. When the lights came back on it was time to get to work. Students used tissue paper and card stock to create their buildings. The back ground was crayon rubbings. We talked about how the characters appear to be flat. Glitter was added as a final touch because after all Cassie Lightfoot was flying among the starts.
