Connect
and Anticipate: In what ways does this lesson build on students’ previous
knowledge? What student strategies and responses do you anticipate? What
misconceptions and struggles might students have?
We
have been going over the characteristics of a Leo Lionni story so we will
review the chart we created. I will then go over different strategies for
creating a picture like collaging and different ways to use markers, crayons,
and colored pencils. Students will also need to position a chipmunk on their
page the correct way. I anticipate some children having difficulty with this
step but they will be placed with support. Students also may have trouble
taking their time while drawing or forming an idea for their picture and will
also be given teacher support.

Focus
Questions
Consider
what questions you will use to focus on students’ thinking to encourage
sense-making and discourse.
Launch:
To introduce the activity/motivate students.
What
do you remember about our Leo Lionni chart?
What
are the parts of a chipmunk?
What
is the correct way to use a crayon, colored pencil, marker?
How
do you collage?
Explore:
To assess students’ understanding and to advance their thinking as they work
independently, in partners or small group
How
did you come up with your idea?
Does
your picture accurately depict your caption?
Are
you coloring the correct way and using the Leo Lionni style?
Summary:
To facilitate the analysis and synthesis of ideas shared at the end of the
lesson
Are
you proud of the drawing you created, do you think you worked hard?
Does
this look like a picture from a Leo Lionni book?

Evidence:
How will you know what students understand? What evidence will you collect?
(If there is an exit task, what will be its focus to inform you instructional
next steps?)
I will know that my students understand
based on the drawings they create. This has been a two week long lesson so
students will be using all their knowledge about Leo Lionni, their ability to
color and formulate a picture, and the skills we go over to create their
pictures.

Pitfalls and Solutions:
ELL: Students who have difficulty reading
and understanding their passages will be given help from a sister.
Special Ed. Certain children have been
given pages with easier drawings so they can draw easier pictures.
