Mission
Listen up trick or treaters, because I have a special mission for you! You are planning a Halloween party for you and your friends, and you have some decorating to do! The most important part of those decorations are the pumpkins, and you are going to design your very own! Before you can get started you need to visit two websites. The first website will teach you how to carve a jack-o-lantern, and the second website will give you ideas about how to decorate a pumpkin. After you have visited these websites you are going to design your very own pumpkin! Mission Steps
2. Next,
you are going to visit a website
which gives you ideas and examples of how to decorate a pumpkin
without doing any carving.
3. Then, you will use paper and crayons to design your own pumpkin or jack-o-lantern. 4. The last thing you will do is tell me the steps for how to carve a pumpkin and we will make a list for you to use at home.
Good Luck!
