Kissing Coyotes

For my fourth grade lesson plan, I wanted students to experience several different aspects of comprehension. I wanted students to listen, take notes, keep count and look for deeper meaning to the story being read. I also wanted the students to use their imaginations. All of the pieces of artwork were done in conjunction with the writing of alternate endings.

 

Adriana Garza Her alternate ending has Hawk telling Jackrabbit that he should not brag about things that he couldn't do. Hawk and Jackrabbit become friends.	Yamilet Her alternate ending shows that Hawk knew Jackrabbit was boasting when he caught him cheating. Hawk told all the other animals about his discovery and everyone knew Jackrabbit was a cheater. Hawk eventually teaches Jackrabbit to fly and he becomes King of the Desert.
N.B. Her alternate ending depicts Jackrabbit challenging Hawk to a test of agility. The Hawk ends up being afraid of competing with Jackrabbit and flies away, never to go near Jackrabbit again.
