Pop Up Books

For this lesson we learned about narrative stories. They began by reading the book If You Give a Mouse a Cookie by Laura Joffe Numeroff. They pointed out the Plot, Characters, and settings from the story. Next, they asked us to come up with our own characters, setting, and plot. We then formed a group of three and sound a way to take all of our ideas and create a story. After coming up with a story line with characters and a setting, we created six pages of a pop up book. Each page was to have a picture, with a central element being projected by the pop up piece. Then under the picture a line or two from the story we created.

Extinction Activity,

I love this idea of having the students create a book. You could use this as a form of book report. They could draw the characters, settings, and plot of the book they read. Answering a few questions under the drawings. Also a student could draw a picture and then have a partner narrate what they think the picture.
