Traction Man Is Here (Traction Man, 1)

Product Information

This book is a delight!!! It reminded me of a Toy Story beginning (which I consider quite high praise!), where the toys are being played with by Andy. Yet a very different style here, because here everything Traction Man does is through the play. Start by asking the children to reflect on the qualities that Traction Man has, and whether they’d change anything about his character. They can then jot their ideas down on our Create a Superhero Worksheet . Then, they can even design a superhero logo based on their answers, using this lovely drawing activity . Tenuous link to heroes of history as Traction Man is a type of hero. Debating and discussing what makes a hero in history Egg has attitude! A burning ambition to fly and a refusal to accept that it can't. But it is very young and knows next to nothing. Writing Traction’s man next adventures. Making a class book of Traction Man’s adventures as a long term goal/ outcome
