オスカー・ワイルドの『驚異のロケット』：謙虚であることの教訓

Prior to this class, learners will be required to read or listen to the Oscar Wilde fairy tale "The Remarkable Rocket." This is a public domain story that can easily be found online. During class, learners will discuss the moral or lesson of the fairy tale, while they make firework art.  For the first art project, students will need to have black construction paper and tubes of glitter glue.  While we discuss the story, learners will engage in the soothing project of making firework art with glitter glue.  When the projects are finished, students can show them to one another.  
After this discussion, students will make a second firework craft. This one is a little more involved.  For this craft, students will need a toilet paper roll, glue or tape, craft wire or pipe cleaners, and pretty paper (construction paper, foil paper, wrapping paper, whatever the students would like to use for their fireworks). I will show students how to make a fun firework craft to coincide with our story discussion.  
This class will involve teacher and student discussion and sharing. It is a hands-on class because learners often become more involved in discussions of literature when they, also, are creating art and having fun.
