Door decoration - language arts for the holidays

[jsfowler]

Help! We are having a door decorating contest. I want my door to not only represent the spirit of the season but also language arts content. Any ideas? I'm stuck!

How about a Christmas tree or some other picture with adjectives describing it?

all the kids' letter's to santa at Santa's feet? if a higher grade, you could ask them to justify why they deserve their presents...

If you have a holiday scene, such as a Christmas tree, you could have the students label the objects in the scene with haiku labels.

Something fun for me
Under the bright Christmas tree.
Let me open it!

Or is this too elementary?

For elementary, I would have my kids write similes for alliterative phrases about the holiday. I would usually have them write similes about snow, that way, the display could last into January!!

[JennA]

I meant to type, similes OR alliterative phrases...

sorry

You could have a pear/pair/pare tree with the leaves being the pairs of homophones.
