Then Mrs. Taylor had the students circle which of the materials that their group used to build their homes. To help the students remember, Mrs. Taylor walked over to a table and brought each group their houses, so that they would remember. Once the students circled their material, they then had to draw a picture of their home on the box located in the bottom left of the worksheet. While students were drawing, Mrs. Taylor walked around and was asking students about their homes (structures) and if they think they could stand up to the Big Bad Wolf. Once the majority of the students were done drawing their picture, Mrs. Taylor told the students what they would be doing next, which was that each group’s home would go up against the Big Bad Wolf, which was just a higher powered electric fan.
