Teaching Idea: I would do a lesson on working towards a goal and not giving up. I would also talk about why it is important to keep going towards your goal. All the students would write down their goal they have for the next month and how they plan to achieve that goal. The students would write down at least three steps to accomplish their goal. The students would keep their goal so they could revisit it at anytime.

Teaching Idea: A lesson that I would have is about how everyone is different and no to people are alike. This would lead to a discussion on how it is normal and okay for people to be different from each other. I would have the students write down words that describe themselves. The students would pair up with their classmates to see that they are not the same, but are still friends. I would have the students create a Venn Diagram between each other to clearly see the differences and similarities.
Sociocultural Lesson: I would use the lesson titled "Writing About Critical Issues" for this book. I would slightly change what the students are to do, however. I would as we were reading this book aloud I would stop when a problem came up an ask the class what the problem is. We would fill out the chart for the rest of it. I would then have the students create their own story.

Teaching Idea: I would have the students read off a notecard a type of experience that they have had in the past, for example walking on a busy street. I would then ask them to describe what is written on the notecard to their partner. The partner would in return say what he/she was describing. This would allow them to think about what they hear, similar to how the boy in the book had to do.

Teaching Idea: I would have two different lessons with this book. One would be a quick lesson on Alexander Graham Bell and his history. I think it is important that the students know key people who play a role in Deaf Education. I would have the students create a section in a notebook where they could add other important people. This way with the notebook all the information would be in one place. The other would be having the students write their own biography from their younger ages. This way they can work on writing a story similar to the one they were read.

Teaching Idea: I would have the students wear ear plugs for the day. This way they could experience what Lisa felt like. The students could work to read each other's lips and feel the vibrations while others are talking. I would have the students create a list of difficulties they experienced while wearing the earplugs and what big mistakes were made.
Cognitive teaching idea: I would have the students create a story map for this book. That way the students could focus on the problem of Lisa not being able to hear, but how she overcomes it. The students would be able to organize the events in order and develop the theme.

Teaching Idea: One lesson I would do with this book is talking with the students about making everyday things that they do more accessible to people who are Deaf. This could include school stuff or play times that the students participate in. I would first start with the students being broken off into three different groups. The students would be given a chart with three columns to list 5 things they do everyday in the first column. In the second column list how this would be hard for someone who is Deaf and in the third column list what could be done to help someone who is Deaf like the little sister in the book. Then as a group we would come back together to talk about all the different activities students came up with. This lesson would help the students understand how others with disabilities are still able to do activities with help just like the little sister.

Teaser: Have you ever listened to a song that you also had to watch at the same time to have a better understanding? This is what exactly what you have to do with this video! This video has a catchy tune, but is also very educational for students to learn some sign language.
Teaching Idea: I would start the lesson by just playing the video once for the class. I would then go over each sign for each of the colors. This way I can go at the speed of the students. I would use this song for a class where we had just learned the colors. I would play this song so they could also know the signs for the colors. This could help the students remember the words along with the signs if they are having difficulty knowing the colors. This would also be a mini-lesson into American Sign Language (ASL) for the students that could continue to build as the year goes on.
