Supporting ELA CCGPS in the Library


I want to show the video, Don't Let the Pigeon Touch the Books next week to let the students know how to take care of the books (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oW25mqJjEF4).  Since many won't have read the book, Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus, I wanted to read it this week.  I also want to be able to show that what I do in the library media center supports the CCGPS in ELA.  I looked at the lesson plans for first grade and they have been working on the essential question, "How do we identify the most important information in a story?".  They have been using the 5Ws & H (who, what, when, where, why and how).  So today after reading Mo Willem's book we answered the 5Ws & H as a group.  Then I told them we were going to take an Accelerated Reader quiz on the book together, so I projected in on the large screen and we went through it.  Many first grade students have not yet taken a quiz, so I took this opportunity to model it for them.  And besides, it's a really funny book...to first grade students!

Supporting CCGPS: ELACC1RL3-Describe characters, setting, and major events in a story, using key details. ELACC1SL2-Ask and answer questions about key details in a text read aloud or
information presented orally or through other media.
