(from lesson plan) 
This
lesson plan focuses on students obtaining reading and language arts skills with
students in K-2nd grade. Students will be expected to use critical
thinking skills pertaining to predicting what will happen next in the story “If
You Give a Mouse a Cookie”. As
well demonstrating comprehension of the text by recalling events in the story
in sequential order. Students will
identify a cause effect relationship of events in the story. In addition retelling the story to
other students in their own words, and demonstrating knowledge of a cause
effect relationship by writing their own version of “If You Give a Mouse a
Cookie”.
One
standard used in the lesson is “students apply a wide range of strategies
to comprehend, interpret, evaluate, and appreciate texts. They draw on their
prior experience, their interactions with other readers and writers, their
knowledge of word meaning and of other texts, their word identification
strategies, and their understanding of textual features”. This will be done when students predict
the sequence of the story. Another
activity students will do during this lesson is retell the story of another
students, using the standard “students adjust their use of spoken, written, and
visual language (e.g., conventions, style, vocabulary) to communicate
effectively with a variety of audiences and for different purposes”. Then
students will write their own version of the story the share with the class
using this standard, “Students employ a wide range of strategies as they write
and use different writing process elements appropriately to communicate with
different audiences for a variety of purposes”.
I
would implement this activity with students over several days. There are 7 parts to the activity and
the story needs to be revisited with students several times. This plan is very appropriate for this
age group. Kindergartners and
first graders may need a little more help in assisting with own writing of
their “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie” story, but by second grade would not need
as much assistance.
