Oh boy, do I love this book!!! I got the Teacher Created Materials novel aide, and it was a huge help. I started the lesson by showing items from the book (peach preserves, sunflower seeds, sneakers, etc...) and they predicted| (wrote in notebooks) how those would be used in the book. I gave them vocabulary words from it and they looked them up, then we played a version of Password to see who was learning them (and it reinforced them). I gave questions throughout the book to check for comprehension. At the end, each group (4-5 students) were given a cardboard box (from cases of drinks) and they made "Camp | |
Greenlake". They brought their own materials from home if they needed more than what I had (construction paper, markers, etc...). They did a great job! We displayed them in our school library. Also, while we were reading it, each day they would write in their notebooks, as soon as they got to class, about a summary of what happened the day before. Then they wrote a prediction of what they thought would happen next. These seemed to help with their comprehension. They really loved the book.
