Literacy Skills: The Mitten

December 12, 2012
EDCC 351 Dr. Keyes

I choose to do my unit plan on a literacy unit using the book The Mitten by Jan Brett. I choose this topic because it was a way to encourage literacy while teaching other concepts through the story. I also felt that this way of teaching will help students to see that learning is everywhere and encourage them to learn through everyday experiences. This unit plan is designed for students in grade k through 1.

Day 1: Shared Reading

I) Introduction: a) Get student’s attention: On the board in front of the class I will have posted a huge mitten cut from butcher paper. b) The lesson for today will be reading the book The Mitten. We will all be practicing are reading and comprehension skills. c) The purpose of today’s lesson will be to practice reading and comprehension skills.

II) Objective:
What: The big book “The Mitten” will be read to the students and we will discuss the book.
How: Students will listen to the teacher while she reads the book, following along, looking at pictures and participating in the discussion about the story.

III) Instruction:
Boys and Girls the story The Mitten by Jan Brett is a favorite winter story for young children. We will be reading this book this week and doing different activities around it. Today I am going to read the book to you and then we will discuss it. (After reading the story I will ask questions such as :) What part of the book could really happen? What makes the book interesting? Where does this story happen? What would be another good title for this story?

IV) Guided Practice:
The group discussion will give students the opportunity to discuss and share what they learned from the story. Have students draw or color on a piece of paper their favorite animal or part of the story.

V) Closure:
At the end of the day go over the book again allowing the children to tell

    After reading, I would ask questions to reinforce the main idea of the story. I would ask that if horsefly and honeybee did not work together to fly away do they think the bullfrog would have ate them and why. I would also ask why did horsefly and honey bee shared the flower at the end of the story but fought for it in the beginning. This would make the students think about what happened in the story that made horsefly and honeybee realize that sharing and teamwork is…

    Teaching Strategies: Read the story “The Foot Book” to the children every day for a week. On the first day read the story in its entirety, afterward ask the children open-ended questions about the story. On the second day re-read the story in its entirety, when you finish show the children the pictures and have them retell the story based on the pictures they see. On the third day read a few sentences then stop and have the kids tell the next few sentences, taking turns between the teacher and the children. On the fourth day the teacher reads a word or two then stops allowing the kids to finish the sentence, alternating again between teacher and students. On the fifth day the teacher is to only turn the pages as the students tell the story.…

    Aims: The aim of this assignment is to demonstrate and plan a story to read to a group of children aged 2 and half to 4. I chose this age group because this is the group I work with on a daily bases from 9:30 to 12:30 five days a week. I am picking a story called “Oh Dear” by Rod Campbell who is a Scottish writer and illustrator of several popular children's books including the classic lift-the-flap board book “Dear Zoo”. As it is a story that helps the children with learning the different animals on the farm and also encourages the children to use their imaginations as they lift up the different flaps in the book to see what is behind them. Which Maria Montessori says “Imaginative teaching materials are the heart of the process”. All of Rod Campbell’s “books have simple text often with repeating phrases which is ideal for pre-readers” and will also Help the children with langue and intellectual skills. “The child proceeds at his own pace in an environment controlled to provide means of learning” -Maria Montessori. this book also helps the children physically as they have to get up to lift up the flaps on the book “movement is therefore the essential of life education cannot be conceived of ad a means to moderate or worse to inhibit movement; it should only function as an aid to a better expenditure of energy whilst allowing it to develop normally” -Maria Montessori pg 102 discovery of a child. “The aim of the children who persevere in their work with an object is certainly not to “learn”; they are drawn to it by the needs of their inner life, which must be recognized and developed by its means.” – Maria Montessori pg 120 discovery of a child. To develop their attention spans…
