little Thai boy farmer or a little Thai girl farmer. Pick a place or property
for your plants. Write about your life as a
Thai farmer. 1. What are your favorite plants? Or
are you going to plants rice? 2. Do you prefer to live in your
field? Or do you prefer to live in the city? 3. What do you do everyday? 4. What is your job at the garden or
farm? 5. What kind of tools or equipment do
you use? Answer each question with
information you will find in the internet or in the books. Make pages for your book
with a picture or two and text for each question. On each page, write at
least two or three sentences describing your answer to the question. Tell
what your favorite thing is and “why.” REMEMBER! You are a little
Thai farmer in your book or journal, so write in that “tone.”
