Learning Strategies: Audio sing-along ** Model of activity * Modeling language * Gestures * Facial expressions * Visuals *

Wait time * Partner work **

Materials: Pete the Cat by Eric Litwin sheets of computer paper (2 per kid) Crayons or colored pencils * Pencils Color word cards * Color word pictures * Computer/projector for online video recording of the story *

Procedures: (Hook and real-world connection) To build background knowledge: Teacher facilitates a class discussion* about the class book they created the previous day while having each child read their page.* As the teacher points* to a part of the book (front cover, back cover, title page, authors contribution, illustrators contribution), students will discuss with a partner* what it is. (Technology and Hook #2) Students will read and sing along** with the recording of Pete the Cat. Teacher will connect the students prior knowledge about authors and illustrators from the previous class book activity to creating an individual story. Teacher will model activity * o Fold 2 pieces of paper in half o Along fold line, make tears in the paper about 1in long o Have students come up and point out where the front cover, back cover, and title page would be in the blank book. Have another student come up and label them (or have the class help sound the words out as you label them). Teacher will then create an example of a front cover, title page, and back cover with a barcode.

o Teacher will create a personal story using the color word cards/pictures* as a reference and the I love my ____ shoes sentence structure. o Teacher will review lesson vocabulary by asking questions: Who is the author of this book? Who is the illustrator? Where is the title page? Etc. (real-world connection) Students will be given a blank story book (the folding and ripping will have been pre-done) to create their own story. Just like I became an author and illustrator of my own book (point to example), you will now become authors and illustrators of your own book. Think about your favorite pairs of shoes and incorporate those into your story.* o Students will label the parts of their book * o Students will use a picture/word checklist to self-assess their work completeness and accuracy students will read their stories to a partner. Have the partner identify the vocabulary and point out their location. **

Assessment: Teacher will monitor students throughout activity. Teacher will take anecdotal notes. Teacher will observe students for participation. Teacher will collect student stories and check for correctly labeled parts.
