PROCEDURE
Introduction (5min.):
Attention Grabber: Video (Bambi II: Learning to be Brave) (Watch the first 30 seconds)
Key questions: How many of you have been afraid of something before? What does being
brave mean? Do you think Thumpers right-you just have to be scarier than whats scaring
you?
Connection to Curriculum: Were going to read a story about two sisters. One sister isnt afraid
of anything-shes very brave. The other sister is afraid of lots of things, but we will see that
bravery shows up in different ways for different people. Remember our WOW pages from last
time? As we read this story, I want you to pick a WOW page and remember it. You can think
about some of the things that the sisters do. Have you ever done some of those things? I want
you to think of some of the ways the girls feel. Have you ever felt like Jess does? Have you
ever felt like Claire does? We want to make text-to-self connections as we read.
Advance Organizer/Agenda: When I tell you, were going to go sit by the rocking chair to listen
to the story. After we read the story together were going to share our ideas with our
elbow/desk buddies, and then write and draw on our text-to-self worksheets.
Expectations for Learning and Behaviour: What do we do when we read the story together?

(Give me 5, hands to ourselves, listening ears.) What do we need to do when were working in
our groups? (Take turns talking, be kind/respectful, stay on task.)
Transition to Body: Have students move to the reading area by rows. Remind them to notice
WOW pages.
Body (22min.):
Connection questions:
How many of you have watched a scary movie before? Did you like it
like Jess did, or did you dislike it, like Claire did?
Have you ever had to get a shot at the doctors before? Was it scary?
How many of you like climbing trees? Do you sometimes climb too high
and get scared?
Have you ever seen someone bullying? Have you ever thought about
standing up to them like Claire did?
Transition to Closure: Everyone can put away their pencils and the
second person in each row can collect the worksheets and bring them to

Consolidation/Assessment of Learning: One of the fun things about reading is that we can
connect situations in books to things that have happened in our own lives. Today we were
talking about some of the things we have done or felt that were the same as Jess and Claire.
Feedback From Students: Did you find the story more interesting when you thought about how
you have had a similar situation or feeling?
Feedback To Students: You all put in a good effort answering questions and finishing your
worksheets! Thank you for being respectful and taking turns talking in your groups.
