Turkey in Disguise Using the App PicCollage

After reading the favorite read-aloud Thanksgiving book Turkey in Trouble by Wendi Silvano, students can complete the fun Turkey in Disguise activity. Turkey in Trouble sets up the activity with the turkey trying to disguise himself as another animal so he won't be eaten for Thanksgiving. I've seen classes produce the cutest art projects using a turkey template. But, this activity is a little different. Students will use the app Pic Collage to create their own Turkey in Disguise.

1. Select a Turkey

- Students will select the "Freestyle" grid.
- Select "Web Search" and type the word "turkey." Add "png" after the word. This will make sure there isn't a white background.
- Then, adjust the size and click to select.

2. Add Details

- After Adjusting the size, repeat to select more images to add to the turkey that you can use for the disguise.
- If this is an image that you don't want to use, just double click on the image and select the "trash can."
- Images can be cropped and duplicated by double clicking on the image.
- Words, symbols, and backgrounds can be added to complete the image.
- Save the image to the library.

3. Completed Products

4. Writing Activity

To complete the activity, students can complete a persuasive writing activity to persuade people to not eat turkey for Thanksgiving.
