Genre: Poetry and Rhymes
Grade Level: 2nd grade
Summary: This is a great pattern story with vivid illustrations. The children would be asked to identify the various animals that they see. However, in the conclusion of the story, the teacher is comparing each of the students to a different animal.
Theme/Skill: Have students think of an animal they could be compared to. They could pick their favorite animal and share with the rest of the class. I would also like them to pick out the rhyming words.
Pre-reading activities: Ask the students how and why they could be compared to an animal? I would picture read to give them ideas of the different animals included in the book.
Post-reading activities: After the students read the story, they would be divided into pairs or groups of three and they would role play by making their animals' sounds. They could share how they are similar to that animal.
Assessment: I would walk around and listen to the students interacting with their peers to make sure the students remained on task. I would ask them to look up 2-3 facts on their animal either from a book, article, or on the internet. The website would already be on the computer for the students to research.
