Environment Internet Activity

My fourth grade class gets with a partner and they go to the website http://www.earthdog.com/entrance.html

This is a 20 page picture book (between 3rd and 4th grade reading level) about a dog who falls into a polluted stream and gets saved and turns into the hero "Earthdog" and goes around and saves the earth. The students read the book together and then write their own book about an environmental hero who saves the earth from some type of pollution. They name their own character and then write and illustrate their book. This takes about a week having the students work about 45 minutes a day. Then they share their books with the other students and we put them in the library for checkout. Some students went on to write more books about the environment and favorite heroes.
