When presenting this book, I would start with the first page and ask students questions about what they notice about the way illustrations are presented to see if they make connections about the cartoon characters and real life images. For the activity I would provide black and white images of background images such as a beach, playground, supermarket, etc and have them pick so that they can create their own cartoon character to embed in the illustrations. Then, they will create a story based on the backgrounds they picked to practice the mentor text writing style.]]> 2022-06-10 17:01:08 UTC https://padlet.com/msgery/Bookmarks/wish/2217688845 msgery https://padlet.com/msgery/Bookmarks/wish/2217704944 I think this will be a great book to start the beginning of the year and start teaching about writing. Library Mouse helps students to see that they are writers with ideas. The Library Mouse, lives in the library and writes little tiny mouse sized books for the students to find. For the activity, I was thinking to do something similar by having students use their inspiration after reading this book and start writing their own little mouse book. They will then leave their mouse book around the classroom for another student and me to find. We can even create our own mysterious classroom mouse to make the activity even more fun.]]> 2022-06-10 17:23:05 UTC https://padlet.com/msgery/Bookmarks/wish/2217704944 msgery https://padlet.com/msgery/Bookmarks/wish/2217715936 This book has a variety of diary entries through a time period. I believe this is a great book to teach organization trait because the book goes through characters life day by day. For the activity I would focus on having students keep a daily diary in class so that they can outlined what they did during the day in class.]]> 2022-06-10 17:32:51 UTC https://padlet.com/msgery/Bookmarks/wish/2217715936 msgery https://padlet.com/msgery/Bookmarks/wish/2217724035 This book describes life in the Blue Ridge Mountains where Cynthia, the author, describes what life was like for her as a child. It's a patterned book, and I believe that this book will work well to model the effect of a repeated phrase. ]]> 2022-06-10 17:44:24 UTC https://padlet.com/msgery/Bookmarks/wish/2217724035 msgery https://padlet.com/msgery/Bookmarks/wish/2217728321 This rhythmic read is full of interesting word choices for students to learn and discuss The book has funky metaphors and slang words that move along the story and illustrate the colorful life of Duke Ellington and his ragtime music. For the activity, I would have students choose a sentence and illustrate it. The whole purpose of this is for students to make the words come alive.]]> 2022-06-10 17:50:39 UTC https://padlet.com/msgery/Bookmarks/wish/2217728321 msgery https://padlet.com/msgery/Bookmarks/wish/2217747150 I think this book can be used in 4th or 5th grade. The book has lots of words that help describe whats happening in the story. I would use this book to as an example on how the author puts sentences together. After reading the book I would have a discussion with students on how the author used a variety of sentence structures and I would ask students to take one old piece of writing, read it, and revise it. I can even provide students with an editing checklist to make their for meaningful.]]> 2022-06-10 18:20:18 UTC https://padlet.com/msgery/Bookmarks/wish/2217747150 msgery https://padlet.com/msgery/Bookmarks/wish/2217751146 I believe that this book can be used to teach punctuation and being confident in yourself. The way I would use this book will be in putting focus on the page about differentiating punctuation marks because it will help demonstrate the proper use of an exclamation and question mark in a same sentence like the one in the book: "Why did exclamation mark yell "STOP"! to question mark?. After the reading I will engage students in punctuation Jeopardy and each category on the board will have a different punctuation mark. The group who produces the sentence accurately wins a point.]]> 2022-06-10 18:27:04 UTC https://padlet.com/msgery/Bookmarks/wish/2217751146 msgery https://padlet.com/msgery/Bookmarks/wish/2217753432 This book personifies punctuation and also explains period, exclamation and question mark. It explain what each form of punctuation is used for and why. This book will be great for younger grades. For an activity I would have students write sentences using each of the punctuation marks properly.]]> 2022-06-10 18:30:41 UTC https://padlet.com/msgery/Bookmarks/wish/2217753432 msgery https://padlet.com/msgery/Bookmarks/wish/2217756436 This book shows emergent writers that they can write their own stories in their own way of expression. The book encourages invented spelling, curiosity, exploration, as students learn that they are the ones who decide what happens in their story. The activity I will be having students draw a picture and then label and describe their drawing to create a story.]]> 2022-06-10 18:35:44 UTC https://padlet.com/msgery/Bookmarks/wish/2217756436 msgery https://padlet.com/msgery/Bookmarks/wish/2217759799 This book is written from the perspective of the wolf from the original story of the 3 Little Pigs. The wolf is re-telling his version of the story, his voice is very distinct. For an activity I would ask students what they think about the wolf' character and opinion based on his own version of the story. Then, I will instruct students to pick on of their favorite folktale or fairytale story and rewrite the story from the villains' perspective. These activity will be more appropriate for 4th graders.]]> 2022-06-10 18:41:14 UTC https://padlet.com/msgery/Bookmarks/wish/2217759799
