Activities:
Activity 1: Guided Mimio Introduction
Students will listen to an interactive read aloud of the book The Gingerbread Boy
retold by Brandi Chase. Teacher will pause on pages 5, 6, and 7 to ask what the
gingerbread boy is running away from. Students will turn to the rocking chair
after the story to complete an easel brainstorming session. Teacher will model
how to brainstorm. Hmmm I remember that the gingerbread boy ran away from
the old lady. I need your help to think of other things the gingerbread boy ran
away from. Students will brainstorm a list. After all options from the book are
brainstormed, teacher will open up new, creative ideas. For example, the
gingerbread boy ran from a zebra! Students will add to their list. Teacher will help
students stretch and spell two of the words.
Activity 2: Gingerbread Writing Activity
Students will listen to step-by-step directions. The teacher will model how to
complete the individual activity. Students will then be called back to their tables
to work on their own. Teacher support and scaffolding will be available during the
activity. Advanced students will be challenged to choose a word that is at least
two syllables long. Students who benefit from extra assistance will be given oneon-one help.

Thanks for working so well today! We sure are doing a great job with our writing!
Assessment:
Informal: Through teacher observation I will monitor whole group instruction to
check student progress. I will actively check to see: Are students actively
participating to brainstorm ideas of what the gingerbread ran away from? Yes or
No. If the answer is yes, we will continue into the formal assessment. If the
answer is no, we will complete a second close read of The Gingerbread Boy.
Formal: Students will independently complete their own Gingerbread Writing
Activity. I will check: Can students successfully write the beginning and ending
sounds within one word? Yes or No.
