The students thought of a small dialogue between the two characters from the book and, after some preparation, they dramatized it and presented it in class.

THANK YOU!!!!!
In this tale, a desperate farm duck goes out in the wood in an effort to make a nest and produce ducklings. There, she has an encounter with a "foxy gentleman" and manages to escape only in the last moment...
In this book, written and illustrated by Beatrix Potter, we followed the naughty Peter Rabbit as he was chased about the garden of Mr. McGregor.
Students of 3rd grade were asked to find a suitable title for the book cover, before we began.
Using translated literature in the classroom proved a success.
The 3rd grade students I implemented this project with last year had a nothing but promising profile. By the end of the school year they all loved English and Beatrix Potter, they were able to find meaning in the subject, they looked forward to learning new things and watched the rest of the school, who at first looked down on them, now look in amazement.
This project would not have taken place had it not been for my teacher friend Petroula Kourtesi, who I thank immensley.
More activities:
In this Tale, a sequel to Peter Rabbit, we saw Peter and his cousin Benjamin go back to Mr. McGregor's garden to retrieve the clothes he had lost there during his previous adventure.
New language (clothing): Peter's blue jacket and brown shoes, Benjamin's clogs and Mr. McGregor's Scottish hat (tam-o'-shanter).
Finally, they made an Easter mobile out of colourings of Jemima and the 4 little ducklings she eventually had!
Our poster of plants in the garden was finished.
The author of some of the most beloved children's books of all time (1866-1943) was also a great artist, a naturalist and conservationist, and a successful businesswoman, whose legacy can be seen today in the Lake District. The year 2016 marked 150 years from her birth, and we decided to celebrate this anniversary by getting acquainted with her work.
We obtained natural traditional seeds and planted them.
We started our own, real Mr. McGregor's garden at the back of the school.
