Day One: Activating Prior Knowledge, Building Knowledge (making connections, oral language focus)
  • What might this story be about?
  • What do you notice on the cover?
  • What colour do you like best? Why?
Day Two: Five Finger Retell

Day Three: Vocabulary Development
  • lazy
  • obvious
  • round
  • portraits
  • bright
  • brilliant
  • intense
Day Four: Higher Order Questioning (asking, discussing, reflecting - between the line questions)
  • How do you think the red crayon was feeling?
  • How are the other crayons thinking?
  • What does it mean to be brilliant?
  • When have you felt this way?
