My older kiddos are having fun with their creative writing lesson today. I found the idea here.

They have to:

~ Create a restaurant

• name
• logo
• style or theme

~ Plan a Thanksgiving Dinner menu

• items must match style of restaurant
• I gave them this list of local restaurant menus for inspiration

~ Design an ad

• include name, logo, catch-phrase, location, phone #
• use persuasive adjectives

~ Write a commercial

• sing a jingle
• convince me to come eat Thanksgiving Dinner at your restaurant

Here are some printables to use for menus, ads, etc:

• stationery
• writing paper
• scroll
• wishbone
• turkey
• cornucopia
