Little Miss Muffet

More information available here

Tell the rhyme as a group then students take turns being Little Miss Muffet, then being the spider.

If your group is really big you could have two people being Miss Muffet and two being the spider.

What is the role of reading?
What types of books do you like to read?
What is the difference between reading for pleasure and reading for information?

Reading for Pleasure

Day 1: See email for Powerpoint and applicable bookmarks

Day 2: Could either review Genres OR explore how to find genres in the Library catalog (link to genre review) (second genre review game)

Day 3: William Allen White Promotion and/or Reading Bingo. Students answer the question, what is your favorite genre and why should you try different genres?
Reading Bingo Cards--I am printing

Day 4: Start by booktalking a few of the new books that have come from Permabound. How can you use the back of the book or the first couple pages to figure out the genre?

Review Reading Bingo/Genres Reading for Pleasure OR review how to find these in the catalog and to make recommendations for one another by logging in.

Reading for Information

This is a super mini research project. It is just designed to give kids a taste for research.

Students may be more interested the 3D printer and/or strawbees OR they might be more interested in learning how to get a patent. You decide!

This would be a GREAT time to pull books about inventions!

Day 2: Beginning Research
Where can you find this type of information?
