Teaser: They'll test you with noises from far and from near and you'll get a black mark for the ones you can't hear. Then they'll say, “My dear fellow, you're deafer than most. But there's hope, since you're not quite as deaf as a post. We'll study your symptoms. We'll give you a call. In the meantime, go back and sit down in the hall.
Teaching Ideas: I would have my students draw and illustrate a small book about how they think they will be when they are their grandparents age. ]]> 2018-02-09 18:40:01 UTC https://padlet.com/toridoubek/c99vooeug9k3/wish/230154788 Oh, The Places You'll GO! toridoubek https://padlet.com/toridoubek/c99vooeug9k3/wish/230160186 Author(s): Dr. Seuss

Teaser: Congratulations! Today is your day. You're off to Great Places!
You're off and away! You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself
any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the guy who'll decide where to go.
Teaching Ideas: After reading this book, we could have our students draw a picture of what they see themselves as when they grow up/ or where they might be. If the student is in an older grade level have them write about dreams and goals they have for their future. ]]> 2018-02-09 18:51:52 UTC https://padlet.com/toridoubek/c99vooeug9k3/wish/230160186 100 Years toridoubek https://padlet.com/toridoubek/c99vooeug9k3/wish/230160937 By: Five For Fighting
Publication Date: 2004
Teaser: a man describes his life extending from ages 15 to 100 as well as his relationship with the woman he loves. At 15, he feels he has all the time in the world to dream, but as time passes by he becomes more aware of his mortality. He realizes that 100 years isn't all that much time after all.

Teaching Ideas: I would have a speaker come into my class to talk about their life experiences, and things that they have accomplished in their life.

Teaser: This is a poem about a father who relishes his time with his children because he knows one day they will grow old and not need him as much anymore, and that he will also grow old and one day be gone.
Teaching Ideas: This would be something I would like to do with older students. I would have my students do a project with their parents with baby pictures- high school pictures and document different stages of their lives, and things that their parents might have helped them with during those stages.

Teaser: Once there was a tree....
and she loved a little boy. And everyday the boy would come and he would gather her leaves and make them into crowns and play king of the forest. He would climb up her trunk and swing from her branches
and eat apples. And they would play hide-and-go-seek. And when he was tired,
he would sleep in her shade. And the boy loved the tree....very much.
And the tree was happy.
Teaching Ideas: I would have my students discuss the message of the giving tree. I would then have them write about what giving means to them, and talk about someone who is very giving to them like their mom, dad, siblings, etc. Then they would say something they really would like to give that person as a thank you for being so giving to them. ]]> 2018-02-09 18:53:52 UTC https://padlet.com/toridoubek/c99vooeug9k3/wish/230161057 Love You Forever toridoubek https://padlet.com/toridoubek/c99vooeug9k3/wish/230161105 Author(s): Robert N.

Teaser: Love You Forever is a story about a mother’s continual love for her son as he goes through the stages of adolescence to manhood. Every night his mother sings to him “I’ll love you forever, I’ll like you for always, as long as I’m living, my baby you’ll be”, while rocking him as he sleeps.
Teaching Ideas: Love You Forever was originally a song before it was a book. Children in class could take turns singing songs that their family like to sing, or songs that their family sings to them. ]]> 2018-02-09 18:53:58 UTC https://padlet.com/toridoubek/c99vooeug9k3/wish/230161105 toridoubek https://padlet.com/toridoubek/c99vooeug9k3/wish/230166347 2018-02-09 19:04:58 UTC https://padlet.com/toridoubek/c99vooeug9k3/wish/230166347 7 Years toridoubek https://padlet.com/toridoubek/c99vooeug9k3/wish/237836654 By: Lukas Graham

Teaser: This song describes lessons that a man has learned, things he's picked up along the way in his 60 years of living so far. Although he finds fame and travels the world, his life centers on relationships: making and keeping lifelong friends, finding a quality partner in life, and having children and grandchildren to keep the loneliness at bay as he ages.
Teaching Ideas: This again would be a lesson I would do with older students, I would have them make a video of their lives up until this point. Things they have done, accomplished, or anything pertaining to them, and things they find important about their lives.

Teaching Ideas: For my lesson plan for this book, I will have my students play a game thats similar to four corners. But instead of it being four corners. I will put up different occupations around the room. Like doctor, ballerina, race car driver etc. They will then need to run to which one they want, and then draw a picture of themselves as that person in the future. ]]> 2018-04-30 17:19:29 UTC https://padlet.com/toridoubek/c99vooeug9k3/wish/256619976 All By Myself toridoubek https://padlet.com/toridoubek/c99vooeug9k3/wish/256620002 Author(s): Mercer Mayer

Teaser: " New shoes, new shoes, we're going to get new shoes. And I'm going to surprise Mr. Lemon when he brings the mail." This book is about twins who are eager to get new shoes and see how their feet are growing. When they end up with snazzy red rain-boots, they can't wait to test them out and show them off.
Teaching Ideas: I would want to do a show and tell for this lesson, Each student would bring something in that they couldn't wait to get, new outfit, new pair of shoes, Etc. This will help them relate to the book, because the twins couldn't wait to get new shoes because their feet were getting bigger, and my students could have a similar feeling about whatever they bring in. ]]> 2018-04-30 17:19:34 UTC https://padlet.com/toridoubek/c99vooeug9k3/wish/256620020
