In the book "Waiting Is Not Easy" by Mo Willems I would work on comprehension of the story and challenge the students to think about a time it was hard to wait for something.

Pay attention to the students interest in the story. Try to relate the story to something the find interesting. Teach the moral of the story in a exciting tone so that the students will be engaged and want to learn more.

Assign group activates and Instructional time. Some group activities for the book "Waiting Is Not Easy" would be discussing what character was their favorite and why.
