Taking Shape
Students will study geometric shapes in their environment. We will be introduced to this study by using the storybook The Greedy Triangle by Marilyn Burns. Students will choose a geometric figure and present their own play or storybook through the lens of their character.

How do I get started?
Ask yourself:
- What shape will the character be?
- Why should this character be the lead?
- Why wouldn't this character be happy with his life?
- What changes could be made to this character?
- What will happen as a result of the changes?
What can I do?
- create a 3d fictional character and portray their character's life through a play.
- create a presentation of a 3D fictional character and portray the character's life through the presentation.
- create a book and online read aloud of a 3d fictional character portraying the life of the character.
