Suddenly!  By Colin McNaughton

5-6 years

I chose this book because I think yhat its such a interesting story for intruduce children to write simple sentence to tell a sory.

So trought this book we can develop:

Speaking

!           tell stories and describe incidents

!          Retell stories, ordening events using story language

Listening and responging

!          Listen with concentration and  build new stores of words in differents contexts.

Drama

!          Roll playing

Understand and interpretating

!          Indentify the main events and characters, and find specific information. Meaning .

Writing

!          Create short simple text. Choose ehat to write about, plan and follow it trough.

!          Estructur a text

(TRY TO FORMULATE ALL THE QUESTIONS WITHOUT WH- QUESTIONS)

Pre-teaching

In a small with board and a pean each children will practice I, to, the that they will need for later.

First they will loom to the covert of the book and read the title wich we will use and hear along the story.

Actual teaching

Later we will ask some question like for example:

!          Who can you see in the front cover?

!          Who is sneaking up on him?

!          What do you think migh happen?

Actual teaching

!          Read the story were children can join saying the word SUDDENLY!

!          The wolf is going to…?

!          What actually happens each time

(try not to use so much ‘’wh’’ questions)

At the end of the story ask questions to iddentify

the main characters and settings, recalling the main events:

!          Do you remember the characters?

!          Happen something?

!          Where did the story take place? (street, shop, school, park and home)

Now all together are going to retell the story in their own words watching the pictures (settings).

We can ask:

!          What is Preston doing?

!          What is traying to do the wolf?

!          Where did Preston go next?

!          What happens to the wolf?

Post-teaching

Day 1:

Choose a setting for their own story to draw an label.

o   Include details in their setting and discuss what they migh be doing there or why they are going there

o   Use word blanks and souns to label their settings.

o   Choose a setting as a group and talk about what they might see there

o   Draw a picture of it and sound out or find labels on word mat as a grupu

Day 2:

Plan their story mountain templates: beginning middle and end. (Use pictures and single words)

Verbally plan their story, act it out to help them to remember it, and write opening sentences as a group

Day 3 (maybe it’s better do it slowly each sentence on different days):

Write an opening sentence in their story: for example ‘’I was going to the park’’

Continue with the middle: for example ‘’then I met a dinosaur’’

Write the end of the story: for example ‘’and/finally we go to a party’’

Finally we will invite someone to read their own story.

Ones they have the entire story they can written again in a nice pear with the corrections, draw a picture and handle in class.

Extra work

Order and cut words into sentences.

Write into books using finger space.

Practice letter formation.
