Day One: Activating Prior Knowledge, Building Knowledge (making connections, oral language focus)

• Bring in a typewriter: set up as a provocation (alternatively, show clip online of a typewriter)
• Predicting Setting: who has been to a farm? What do you know about farm animals?
• Today we are going to read a story about Farmer Brown, he has a really big problem, what do you think it could be?

Day Two: Five Finger Retell

Day Three: Vocabulary Development

• electric
• impossible
• impatient
• furious
• neutral

Day Four: Higher Order Questioning (asking, discussing, reflecting - between the line questions)

• Do you think the Farmer should have given the animals what they wanted?
• What might the other animals want?

Extensions for Learning Centres or Opportunities to Engage with Writing:

• Explore typewriters or keyboards in dramatic play or as a provocation
• incorporate keyboard into literacy groups
• create their own endings (set out book and encourage those interested to create other "wants" from other animals)
