The teacher will begin by doing the word work book. The word is candles. Next the
teacher will tell the students they are going to start reading a book called, Cam
Jansen and the Mystery at the Monkey House. She will let them know they will read
one chapter each day and then answer questions that pertain to that chapter. If the
chapter allows the teacher will have a who, what, when, where, why, and how
question for each chapter. The teacher will pass out the book. The teacher will have
the students look at the cover. The teacher will ask the students if they know what the
genre is. The teacher will ask the students what they see on the cover. The teacher
will ask who they think the book may be about, what they think is going on, where
they think the story takes place, why they think this is going to happen, or why they
think the book is about. The teacher will ask the students what the cover makes them
wonder about the book. The teacher will have the students flip through the book to
look at the few pictures that are in the book to see if they get an idea of what may be
happening in the book. The teacher will pass out the packet that has the questions in it
for each chapter. She will go over the questions for chapter one so students know
what they are looking for while they are reading. The teacher will then have the
students read chapter one. After the students are done reading chapter one they will
go over the questions together. The teacher will write the answer on the board for
everyone to see and to write down. The students will continue reading and answering
questions until they finish the book. They will read one chapter a day.
