    Sketch to stretch Alligator Baby by Robert Munsch



    Subject (s): Language Arts
    Time of day: Morning or Afternoon (Whenever the class time is allotted)
    Length of lesson: 50-60 minutes
    Whole Group/ Individual
    Absentees:

    Going from the known to the new: Before this lesson, students should have the
    ability to sketch a basic picture that they are able to describe.

    GCO 4: Students will be expected to select, read, and view with understanding a
    range of literature, information, median and visual texts.

    SCO 4.1: Students will be expected to regard reading/viewing as sources of interest,
    enjoyment, and information

    Curriculum Overlaps: This lesson overlaps with Visual Arts outcomes (please see
    the Curriculum Document for Visual Arts).

    Lesson:

    Introduction: The purpose of this lesson is to create visualizations of the
    story that will be read (Alligator Baby by Robert Munsch)

    Time to Teach

    Time Allotment: 5-10 minutes

    Overview: For the first 5-10 minutes of the lesson, give a small mini lesson
    about visualizations. Use this time to speak to students about how,
    sometimes, one must take the time to read only the words of a story. This
    allows them to make their own pictures in their heads, or in our case, on
    paper.

    Time to Practice

    Time Allotment: 20-30 minutes

    Overview: Take this time to read the story to the students in sections. Read
    the story all the way through, without showing them the images. Then, after
    have done a complete reading, stop and explain to the student that you are
    going to re-read to them a certain section (For example, you could read the
    section on page 23, in which the baby reaches up to the gorilla and bites it on
    the nose). After this section is read, they will take the time to draw a picture
    of what they are visualizing.


    Time to Reflect and Share

    Time Allotment: 10 minutes

    Overview: In this section, the class will come back together as a whole to
    discuss the reasons why they interpreted the stories in certain ways. In order
    to prompt the students, the teacher could organize a series of questions to
    prompt answers. For example, say that a student has drawn a picture of the
    gorilla crying. The teacher could ask the student, Why is the gorilla crying in
    your drawing?. One possible answer they may give to this question is The
    gorilla is crying because the baby bit it on the nose.


    Differentiation

    This lesson can be easily differentiated for a variety of learners. For those
    students who struggle with writing, this lesson is appropriate, as it allows them to
    use a different way of representing to display their ideas. For students with
    difficulty drawing (i.e. perhaps their drawings are not very clear), they will have the
    opportunity to explain as a group what their visualization was when hearing the
    passage. Finally, for those learners who are shy, they will be able to spend time
    putting their ideas down pictorially in order to demonstrate to their peers and
    teacher what they have visualized.

    Criteria for Success

    Students should be able to listen attentively to the teacher while he/she is
    reading the story.

    Students should be able to work independently on their illustrations.

    Students should be able to demonstrate the ability to explain their
    visualizations in some form, whether as a whole group, with a friend, or
    through a detailed drawing.

    Feedback

    Feedback will be provided to students throughout their discussions of the
    story. The teacher will refrain from providing negative feedback, or criticism.
    Instead, he/she will focus on what the student has been able to achieve in
    their investigation of visualization.
