Gr. 4’s Class Project

Newspaper Diorama Class Project

In groups of 3, you will be making a diorama of the farm that Charlotte and Wilbur live on. Look for pictures and clues from the text as to what the farm consists of. Be sure to include Charlotte’s web and Wilbur’s pen. You can use cardboard, construction paper, play-do, little toy figures, etc.
Example:

With that, you will write a newspaper article about what is happening on the farm. Be sure the article talks about an interesting moment from the story. (Worksheets to be handed out in class.)
Since this project will be worked on in class and completed before the Christmas holidays, all you need from home are some of the above mentioned supplies or you may use what we have at school.
Good luck and have fun!
