[CALIBK12] TAR: Crafts to tie into Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer -Special Education

[David Burt]

How about making rafts out of popsicle sticks, or pre-cut dowels, and some type of waterproof glue.  If the students have time you could lash the rafts together with string. Many Boy Scout or outdoors sites will have how-tos on the lashing.  With a little preparation anyone can learn the basics--at least enough to build small demo rafts.
 
An added activity would to fill something with water and see how the rafts float.

Any ideas for crafts that moderate to severe special education students can do to tie into Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer?
