We will now take a look at the front cover of the book and discuss the
illustrations and title. We will compare the pictures to other books we have
read this week.
Following the story I will introduce our activity we will be completing to the
students.
Each student will go back to their seat and receive a piece of lined paper with
the heading When I grow up The students will be required to write briefly
about what they want to be or give a job title ex. Nurse. Next they will need
to color the top of their hot air balloon colors of their choosing.
I will say thumbs up if you understand the directions, thumbs down if you
still have more questions.
Once the students have completed writing their job and coloring the top of
their hot air balloon, I will have them bring it back to the back table. I will
attach their writing piece to their picture and hot air balloon and then will
place them on our bulletin board
Conclusion: (5 minutes)
Once everyone is done and at the carpet, I will get the students attention and
ask them to each tell me what they put on their hot air balloon (job). I will
then briefly mention that we will be reading another Dr. Seuss tomorrow
called, Hop On Pop.
