For this lesson, we learned about three dimensional designs and also the foreground, middle ground, and background. They also incorporated Dr. Seuss in their lesson by showing examples of some of his characters. We had to create a Dr. Seuss type creature out of play doh. First, we had to create our construction paper scenery; we had to create a foreground, a middle ground, and background. Then we drew a picture of what our creature would look like. Finally, we created our creature out of play doh. We had to use at least three materials provided either for the scenery or on the creature. Children would really enjoy creating their own creature. We then had to create a mad lib story about our creature as well.
An extension activity that could be done with this project is creating a Dr. Seuss type of book about our creature using rhyming like Dr. Seuss did. Students would enjoy creating a book about their character and they could learn about rhyming words while doing this.
