Hi,
Sorry it
has been awhile since my last post! I have been busy doing many new
literature units. My class is currently
studying the author Mark Teague. He has written stories such as The Lost and
Found, the “Dear Mrs. LaRue” series, The Secret Shortcut, and much more.
Last week’s
focus was on the book Dear Mrs. LaRue. This is about a dog that gets put into obedience
school because his owner thinks he behaves badly. Throughout the story, the dog
Ike writes his owner Mrs. Larue about his side of the story. This book is a great way to teach a character’s
point of view.
I also did
a little activity that to help teach the point of view of both Mrs. LaRue and
Ike. The students create a Brotweiler
Academy (this is the obedience school that Ike gets sent to). The outside of the craft is a drawing of the
Academy and on the inside; students write the two different points of view and
draw an accompanying picture. The
following are pictures of the final craft that my students completed and my teacher example.
If you are
interested for the templates and a literature study that goes with this book,
follow the link below.
Enjoy!
