Meet Midnight: A creative drawing activity for students
A foal is born at midnight, on the homestead side of the river. Coal black. Star ablaze. Moonlight in her eyes …
Let imaginations run wild with this new activity sheet based on Midnight by Mark Greenwood and Frané Lessac. Midnight is a unique-looking horse, and students are invited to create their own horse by choosing the breed, colour, markings and personality!
Invite more discussion about Midnight with our free teaching notes. They include more classroom activities such as:
- Researching other horse and rider stories from the light horse.
- Encouraging students to read for the ‘subtext’ and observe how the pictures and the text work together; how images illuminate meaning within the text.
- Discussing some of the things you can do in your school on Anzac Day or Remembrance Day so that people remember and pay respect to the soldiers who died in WWI.
