After reading the book The Hungry Little Caterpillar, I created a collage from the MIDDLE of the story. I used colored construction paper to make the shapes of a tree, the leaves, and the caterpillar. The leaves decrease in size across the paper to show that they are further away than the leaves the caterpillar is eating, which are closest.
This is a good project for a second grader because they are likely to be able to identify the parts of the story, (beginning, middle, end) use different sized objects to show position in the picture, and should be able to use scissors and glue adequately to actually create it.
Students who may have difficulty might not have fine motor skills mastered, may have depth perception issues, or may lack the creativity needed to successfully imagine the picture they are to create or to transfer it successfully from their idea to the paper.
