11. Introduce the activity- To introduce the activity I will read the story A House is a House for
Me and then ask them what are some other houses they can think of for animals or objects. After,
I will show them the page we will be writing on and show them that we are putting together a
book.
12. Pre-assessment- Based off of other activities I believe this activity will be much more
engaging for some students rather than others. Students who Ive seen using their imaginations
on a daily basis will enjoy this activity, but other students may have trouble coming up with
something on their own.
13. Steps- 1. Read book 2. Show the page/introduce activity 3. Call on students to complete
activity. 4. Complete activity
14. Closing- I will keep these pages to make them into a book then I will tell the children to
make another choice.
15. Back-up plans- If the students cant think of an idea on their own I will have the book A
House is a House for Me readily available for them to look through.
16. Extensions/Variations- To extend this activity I will read our class book to the class and show
them that it will be in our library if they want to read it.
