**Learning Objectives**: Students in Mrs. White’s fifth grade class will utilize the visual arts to improve students reading, writing, speaking/listening and research skills with a focus on informative and explanatory writing, conducting research. Students will construct a three-dimensional avatar, create a mythological story, documenting the processes through video, as well as to create a performance based on their story and the piece.

Students combined an animal with a primal culture group to generate a new mythological creature through 3D paper forms. They were based on non-fiction reading in social studies about people in ancient cultures. This slide show contains images from the process of exploring the properties of paper, assembling and painting their large scale avatars, as well as performing with them. These constructions will be included for display in a Cambridge Springs Gallery and later installed in the school. media type="custom" key="21722300"

In the next series of video clips, students work on constructing their collaborative pieces and perform with them while reading their reports. Students also created acrostic poems related to their learning and explored other non-fiction writing and reading activities along with this activity. media type="custom" key="21736938" media type="custom" key="21736942" media type="custom" key="21736948" media type="custom" key="21737404" media type="custom" key="21737708" media type="custom" key="21737718"
