Storybook Playhouse at the Dallas Arboretum
What a fun exhibit! Throughout the grounds there are themed playhouses based on a variety of children’s literature selections. I’m thinking Field Trip opportunity deluxe, and of course a technology/media opportunity as well.
1. Challenge your students to read one or more of the 14 different books on display and prepare a book report to be videoed at the playhouse on a field trip.
2. Visit each of the playhouses, and video someone reading the summaries of each story and then select your favorites to read.
3. After visiting the playhouses at the Arboretum choose a new story to read and design your own playhouse and write your own review.
4. Use the format on display to write future book reports.
At the Dallas Arboretum website you can view a list of the 14 books, a brief summary of each, and a video clips about the construction of the playhouses currently on display.
