Balloons Over Broadway

This week we are busy creating and persuading.  We read the book  Balloons Over Broadway by Melissa Sweet.  This is the true story of the man who invented the big balloons that are used in Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.  He was very creative in developing the concept of the balloons and designing them.

Next, we invented our own balloons.  We had to think of something that is popular in books or movies or represents the time we live in.  We drew and designed our balloons.

Next, we will do our prewriting of our letter to Macy's asking them to consider our balloon as an addition to the parade.  We will have to come up with reasons our balloons should be included.
