Seedfolks Packet

By MJCO

                In language arts class we had to read a book called “Seedfolks” by Paul Fleishman. The book is basically about a bunch of people being joined together with this one garden which started from one little girl who planted a few lima beans. Each chapter in the book is another person who tells their story about how they got attracted by it.

                After we read the book we did a seed packet project. We chose one character out of the book and one in our family and compared them to a plant and put them on separate seed packets. We started on a piece of paper to organize what was needed. There were four columns, the first was who the character was, the second was how your plant is like your personality, the third was what was a quote said by your character which relates to the plant they grew in the story and the final one was all the qualities of the plant versus the character in the book.

                I finished that so I started making my seed packet. Instead of having it dull and boring with no creativity I decided to make it look like a seed packet not a packet that was folded I made it like a pocket and added popcorn kernels to have that sound and feeling of seeds.

                On the back we had to have directions on how to plant them and these were the qualities of the four column sheet with all of my stuff. Finally I put a company name on it and I was finished.
