---------------------------------
Step 1: Divide the students into small groups. Give each group a poster board. Instruct the students to draw to large, overlapping circles to make a Venn diagram. NOTE: Some of the students may wish to leave room to make their circles into two turkeys with feathers at the end of the project.
Step 2: Have students search for pictures of wild and domestic turkeys. This website has information on wild turkeys. It even has a section to listen to their sounds! They also have some information on the domestic turkey here.
Students may search online or in the school library. Here are some resources from Amazon affiliate:
Step 3: As students conduct their research, have them complete the Venn diagrams to show the differences and similarities of domestic and wild turkeys. Students may also relate their findings to the first Thanksgiving feast.
Step 4: Have each group share their findings. Others groups may add new information learned to their own diagrams.
Step 5: If students wish, they may make each circle into a turkey. Let the students be creative and come up with their own elaborations.
Step 6: Display the diagrams and artwork around the room or on a Thanksgiving bulletin board.
