For this lesson I read the book Aliens Love Underpants to 2nd and 3rd grade. We looked at the different styles and designs of the underpants on each page. Afterwards, they were to cut out their own alien and design their own underpants for him to wear. Each child chose a shade of green construction paper to draw their alien onto, which I demonstrated. This was cut out and glued onto their space/planet background which was also made out of construction paper. They then added as many eyes as they wanted to their alien and used a marker to draw a mouth. The underwear was cut from scrap white paper. I showed them how to hold the paper up to their alien's waist to determine how big to draw it. Then came time to draw patterns/designs onto the underwear. Markers were used to color them in. Gold and silver star stickers were added for extra detail. When their artwork was finished I gave them a sheet of paper with questions that they had to fill in. They had to name their alien, describe his/her personality, name the planet they came from, and describe the underwear they designed. These were of course presented and admired the next week!
