McDonalds

The students in our classroom are always given a chance to decide what the Drama centre should be, month to month. Some times if they love it so much, we keep it going for 2 months and that was what happened with our castle. Now that the castle is finished they had to brainstorm new ideas.

The students were given big pieces of blank paper and asked to use drawings and words to show what they wanted the Drama centre to be. Then they shared their plan with the whole class. We talked about the different ideas. Then we voted as a whole class and this time...McDonalds Restaurant won!

We used the classroom computer to help us look up images of what the sign needed to look like. Students worked together to make the sign.

We went through the class cupboards and we found hamburgers and sandwiches. But we didn't have anything for French Fries. "I know! We can use yellow paper, we just need to cut it up." A student exclaimed and next thing, we had an assembly line for French Fries.

After school one day I went to the local McDonalds and asked if we could have some empty containers for our Drama centre. They gave me some Happy Meal boxes, cups and french fries containers. 

Now we had our materials, we needed to come up with the menu!

We also needed table space and an OPEN / CLOSED sign and a Parking Lot.

But wait...if there is a Parking Lot then we'll need cars. 

And we did all of this in just 4 days by working together!
