Not A Box is a simple short story about a rabbit who has many ideas about a box. We began this simple lesson with a simple drawing of a box and asked the kids what it was. As expected they said, rectangle, box, square... I then read the book and they giggled delighted with the simple illustrations and rabbit's flexible imagination. I then asked them to draw a rectangle or box using a black crayon and then quickly transform it with a red crayon. The only rule was we had to see the black box. They had a blast. The children then shared their Not-A-Box drawings and we all tried to see if we could guess and see what they had drawn. We talked a bit about how flexible thinking allows us to see the box in different ways and how interesting it was that we all had different ideas for the same shape! |
