I adore this beautiful simple book!
"Not A Stick" is a book written and illustrated by Antoinette Portis. It tells a story of a little pig's world of pretend. The stick he is holding becomes becomes an orchestra baton, a paint brush, and even a sword to slaying a dragon!
The assignment I gave each student a was to use their imagination and change a boring stick into something fantastic. They did not disappoint!
The students started with a blank piece of paper and a Popsicle-stick. They came up with a animal/person that could be doing their pretend activity and traced their stick. When they were done adding their details I hot-glue their stick into place.

| It's not a stick! It's a weight! |

| It's not a stick! It's for chopping trees down! |

| It's not a stick! It's lasers from my monster! |
