It is unusual because it is a chapter book. This story neatly ties together all of the picture books in this author study .]]> 2017-02-21 01:39:31 UTC https://padlet.com/mjcrossman24/qxu2m4g7xb6w/wish/155042255 mjcrossman24 https://padlet.com/mjcrossman24/qxu2m4g7xb6w/wish/155044128 2017-02-21 01:54:45 UTC https://padlet.com/mjcrossman24/qxu2m4g7xb6w/wish/155044128 mjcrossman24 https://padlet.com/mjcrossman24/qxu2m4g7xb6w/wish/155044425 Building motivation: Begin with a discussion on talents, interests, and passions. Spend a day holding a talent show and/or show and tell about students' individual interests. Stress the importance of embracing everyone's interests and passions. Read "The Art Lesson" aloud and talk about Tomie dePaola's interests. Discuss that his story in "The Art Lesson" was a much more interesting way to learn about him than him blatantly saying he enjoyed drawing. Explain that we will be learning more about Tomie's life and other interests through his books. Introduce Literature Circles. ]]> 2017-02-21 01:56:51 UTC https://padlet.com/mjcrossman24/qxu2m4g7xb6w/wish/155044425 mjcrossman24 https://padlet.com/mjcrossman24/qxu2m4g7xb6w/wish/155046676 In literature circles, students will read: Now One Foot, Now the Other; Tom; Oliver Button is a Sissy; and Nana Upstairs & Nana Downstairs.
Students will choose which book to read first based on picture walks and short descriptions of each book. Students will read the books independently or with a partner if they need extra support. After each group reads their book they will meet with the teacher for a small group discussion. Students will repeat this process until they have read each of the books. ]]> 2017-02-21 02:18:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mjcrossman24/qxu2m4g7xb6w/wish/155046676 mjcrossman24 https://padlet.com/mjcrossman24/qxu2m4g7xb6w/wish/155050404 26 Fairmount Avenue will be read over the course of this week, and potentially extend into another week. Some chapters may be read as a class, with the teacher reading and the students following along. Other chapters may be assigned to students to read as independent reading, however the language can be a bit more advanced in this book. Some students may be asked to read it independently, while others may be asked to partner read or choral read with the teacher. At the end of this reading, the class will finish their efferent response charts and discuss how each of the picture books ties into this chapter book. This will lead us to the culminating project in which students will write from the literature model of Tomie dePaola's books.]]> 2017-02-21 02:58:35 UTC https://padlet.com/mjcrossman24/qxu2m4g7xb6w/wish/155050404 mjcrossman24 https://padlet.com/mjcrossman24/qxu2m4g7xb6w/wish/155050678 Throughout the study, students will keep a log of factual information about Tomie dePaola, his family, and his history. Students will have choice in representing this information in a web, graphic organizer, or family tree style format. ]]> 2017-02-21 03:02:06 UTC https://padlet.com/mjcrossman24/qxu2m4g7xb6w/wish/155050678 mjcrossman24 https://padlet.com/mjcrossman24/qxu2m4g7xb6w/wish/155053930 Students will write a Tomie dePaola style book about their interest/passion that they previously shared with the class at the beginning of the study. They will create their own book with illustrations and copies will be made for the classroom library. ]]> 2017-02-21 03:39:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mjcrossman24/qxu2m4g7xb6w/wish/155053930 mjcrossman24 https://padlet.com/mjcrossman24/qxu2m4g7xb6w/wish/155054767 Students will keep response journals and record their responses to each book read. After reading "The Art Lesson" aloud, the class as a whole will brainstorm deeper questions they they would like to know about Tomie dePaola and his history. As students read through the selection of his books, they will answer the questions originally generated by the class. They will also be able to hypothesize, question further, and connect the stories to each other. ]]> 2017-02-21 03:48:19 UTC https://padlet.com/mjcrossman24/qxu2m4g7xb6w/wish/155054767 mjcrossman24 https://padlet.com/mjcrossman24/qxu2m4g7xb6w/wish/155436985 http://www.tomie.com/main.html ]]> 2017-02-22 13:48:42 UTC https://padlet.com/mjcrossman24/qxu2m4g7xb6w/wish/155436985
