Have you every heard of a Catfish with magical powers down in they Bayou? Well Jack has and when he tells his wife everything changes. She makes bigger and bigger wishes, until she just simply wishes she could go back to the way things were. Connecting to the Standards
Grade 2 RI (4): Determine the meaning of words and phrases in a text relevant to a grade 2 topic or subject area
- Students will meet this standard when they are learning vocabulary words. When you go over the vocabulary words, not all the vocabulary words will be gone over so that when you get to them in the text you can ask the students and they can use context to figure it out
- Students will meet this standard by creating their chart to see if each fair tale meets their component of a fairy tale they are looking for.
Learning Outcomes
In groups of two or three, students will be in charge of finding one component of a fairy tale in each of the fairy tales read throughout the lesson. Students will be in charge of charting whether the component is there or not.
Adapted to the Classroom
This text would be used when you are studying about fairy tales. Before reading this students would know what a fair tales is and all the components of a fairy tale. In the fairy tale unit you would be working on finding all the components of a fairy tale, in text that are believed to be fairy tales. Students would be in groups of two or three and would be looking for a certain component for each fairy tale read. Students would be given a chart with their component and all the fair tales read, the the story is being read they would check the box to see if the component had been met or would leave it blank if it had not. At the end of the unit, we would create a big chart with all the components and the stories read. Students would then be invited to mark the stories that met their component.
For this text in particular before reading you would introduce new vocabulary. There are so many knew vocabulary to students because of the setting of the story, that this is a major learning opportunity for students.
Bloom's Taxonomy
What is a Bayou and where is it located? (Knowledge)
Why do you think that Jolie made the wishes she did? (Analysis)
How would you use a wish from a magical Catfish if you found one? (Application)
Differentiation
For ELL students, directions on what the task is would be given in both English and their native language.
For gifted students, they will have to make a graph at the end showing how many books where fairy tales and how many books where not fairy tales
