Sandy had a great idea to have the kids think of another card that could have turned up during the playing of the game in space. Students needed to write that scene and create a pencil picture similar to the Zathura story to go along with it. I also had them include dialogue between Walter and Danny keeping true to their characters which helped practice writing with correct quotation mark punctuation.

My students create their own robot on a piece of 8.5x11 oak tag and label it with the things the robot can do.
