Description

Professor of Pigeonology is a companion activity to go along with a novel study of Jerry Spinelli's novel Wringer. With this activity students research several types of pigeons, record information, draw illustrations, and present their findings to the class. It can be completed before, during, or after reading the novel Wringer.

Included is a response chart for students to complete, student directions, and and award certificate so that students can compete for the best presentation.

The Easel version is ready to use with directions and answer boxes.

For the full novel study, with chapter questions, two before reading activities, key idea and details activities, context clue vocabulary activities, inferencing activities, a follow-up performance task, writing prompts, and a card game for review, see:
