Henry O. Tanner - The Banjo Lesson

Used the magnetic word strips in the packet to describe the artist. 

Made paper plate banjos (sample in the packet)  I did a lot of pre-work.

Need:  paper plates, artist board, rubber bands and paper clips, and a stapler.

Each child got a pre-made banjo of two paper plates and an artist board neck.  The bottom of the banjo needs to be open so don't staple all the way around.  The children decorated their banjos being careful not to smalsh in the center.  Then they put the rupper bands on the paper clips and made their strings - 3 strings per banjo.

Listened to the "Dueling Banjo" cassette while we made our banjos.

Everyone had to tell me one thing about the artist to get an Oh Henry candy bar.
