Hi, (I also posted this on primary board)
I am being observed tomorrow (first grade) and we are supposed to do a lesson from our new reading program (Houghton Mifflin). I am going to do a whole class lesson on Fantasy/Realism. Here is what I plan to do, but any new suggestions to add would be really appreciated!
-First we are on the rug, we are going to think about our story for the week (If You Give A Pig A Pancake) and discuss the difference betweeen real/fantasy. We will make a list on chart paper of things int he story that could be real or are fantasy. Then the children will be put into groups and given a set of sentence strips. In their group they need to sort the sentence strips into real/fantasy. After they have sorted them (I am stuck on what they can do if one group finishes sorting first) then as a whole class we will come together and go over each sentence, a group will read it aloud and tell the class their decision, then I will tape it on the board under the appropriate category. After, the students will be given construction and fold it in half, they will write a sentence on one half "In real life, a ___ (animal) would eat a _______". On the other half "In a fantasy story, a _____ would eat a ________".
-I am being observed for abuot 50 minutes. Any new ideas are appreciated! Thanks so much!
