The Day the Crayons Came Home

 

Day One: Activating Prior Knowledge, Building Knowledge (making connections, oral language focus)
  • Discussion about the cover (what do you see, notice, think it may be about)
Day Two: Five Finger Retell

Day Three: Vocabulary Development
  • neglected
  • embarrassed
  • damaged
  • individually
  • magnificent
Day Four: Higher Order Questioning (asking, discussing, reflecting - between the line questions)
  • How were the crayons feeling?
  • What could Duncan do differently?
  • How can we make sure our classroom crayons don't feel this way?
Extensions for Learning Centres or Opportunities to Engage with Writing:
  • Literacy Area: add jars of crayons with a variety of colours, different types of premade books
  • Write a classroom story about other crayon adventures
