The Importance Of Grinch Grams

180 Words1 Page

Students send Grinch Grams, a gift of words, this holiday season to their classmates. They learn that words have the power to make hearts grow — just like the Grinch’s heart grew. Have them draw classmates’ names. Give each student a heart. The hearts on my bulletin board are made with die cuts that I triple layered (red, gold, and white) to symbolize how the Grinch’s heart grew three sizes. You certainly can do this, but if you want to save class time, download "Grinch Gram Hearts" to use in your classroom. The students think about the person whose name they drew and write one positive comment, a sentence or two, on the heart. As an example, I created Grinch Grams for my homeroom students and put them on my hallway bulletin board for the

    Seuss, The Grinch is the main protagonist in this tale, but not much background is given on this green fellow. In the story, The Grinch is accompanied by his dog, Max, throughout most of the movie. Max acts as a sidekick that helps the Grinch, but is somewhat of an underdog. But puns aside, Max wasn’t treated the best by the Grinch in most of the movie. The Grinch made him pull an entire sleigh which held the Grinch and all of the Whos’ Christmas food, gifts, and decorations. While Max is pulling the sleigh, The Grinch is continuously yelling at him to make him move faster despite the extremely heavy weight on his shoulders, and expects him to carry all of it on his lonesome. To add onto that, The Grinch makes Max help, treating Max almost like a slave, which is extremely unethical and should never be done. But The Grinch doesn’t really even treat Max like a worker, Max just does what he’s told, and doesn’t get much out of the things he’s done for the

    They would have been asked to find out where in the world their pen pale is from to be used in a later unit. When the letters have returned the teacher will make sure to keep them until the math activity. For the math activity, I would use the locations of their pen pals to help them learn to graph points on the positive side of a coordinate plane. This will be effective because the students will want to see where their pen pal is in reference to one of their classmates and they will want to know where flat Stanley has been in the world. I would use a generic print out of a world map with coordinates to help plot the points of where flat Stanley has been. For an English Language Leaner this could be a very exciting part for them to show their classmates where they are from and maybe where they sent their flat Stanley to was back to their home country and can encourage them to feel more comfortable in their new

    Eight years ago as I was preparing for my middle school graduation, I remember my homeroom teacher presenting each student with a parting gift. It was an envelope and inside of this envelope was a strip of paper containing notable characteristics of the respective student. When I opened mine, it read “—thoughtful and extremely perceptive of others and her environment. She is intelligent and has varied interests and opinions that hardly anyone knows about. She is an excellent student and a loyal friend.” Though I did not consider the significant meaning of these words at the time, when the paper resurfaced a few years later, I read the paper again, this time with deeper reflection. To this day, I am amazed by how accurate my teacher was in describing

    During stage seven, the Grinch is battling problems of generativity vs. stagnation. Generativity is giving optimism about humanity to the next generation(where all of Whoville is terrified and this is great if he gives it to them). Stagnation refers to the failure to find a way to contribute. The Grinch has always felt uninvolved with their community because he isn’t a Who. Throughout his life, the Grinch was curious with the concept of Christmas. He would watch all of Whoville celebrate. When there was a 99% Christmas sale going on, the Grinch wore a cloak and a mask so people wouldn’t try to distinguish him. He told his dog Max “The city is a dangerous place” as they explored. As an adult, he is feeling worthless and bored living in a cave with his dog. He talks to the walls and listens to their echos. He scares teenagers away when they arrive to the door because social interaction is all new to him. He yells who he hates from the phonebook one by one. Yet, deep down he has a heart. The goal is to value others and ensure future generations. Whoville is scared that a genocide is going to happen. He ensures them peace when he carves the roast-beast. Therefore, he has success by becoming involved with their
