Students begin by listening to a read aloud of the story "Sneezy the Snowman". The story discusses several different situations in which the character (a snowman) melts because of a change in temperature. Students then engage in a turn and talk and create a way they would melt a snowman. After, they write a sentence that finishes the prompt "My snowman melted because…". The students then cut up white construction paper to show their melted snowman. They are encouraged to cut the shapes however they would like to encourage creativity. They present the finished product to their peers.
