After reading the story, we worked together to create a story elements anchor chart. We discussed character setting, problem and solution. We worked together in shared writing to complete the chart.
Next, the students completed this free All About Peter Rabbit flip book. They wrote and illustrated the characters, setting, problem and solution in this cute flip book.

Next we read the story Peter Cottontail
also known as the Easter Bunny! We discussed the similarities and differences of the two rabbits, and then we completed a Venn diagram to compare and contrast Peter Rabbit and Peter Cottontail.
