Extension Activity
Make a larger doll using fabric, felt or textured paper. Try making a 3D one dressed in real clothes! You will earn
a gold card for good effort!
Ask the shopper in your family to give you a LONG receipt
from the supermarket. In class we will be analysing what you couldn't have bought, what you could have bought easily and what
was rationed. We will see if your family could "survive" on those rations!
