V. PROCEDURES/PROCEDI MI ENTOS:
1. Vocabulary Word Wall
Explain to the students that we are going to being reading a book that contains words that
English and Spanish speakers can learn as well as words they may not be familiar with. Use
the word wall to assess what words the students know and do not know. The words are:
Perrito=Puppy
Jalea=Jelly
Arte=Art
Minino=Kitty
Azul=Blue
Zanahorias=Carrots
Caf=Brown
Fuego=Fire
Por favor= Please
2. Book Cover Predictions
Explain to the students the title of the book and ask them to make predictions using the title
and the illustration on the cover. Using questions such as:
- What do you think this book is about?
- Why do you think the author wrote the book?
3. Predictions during Picture Walk
Slowly flip through the book to allow the students to see the pictures. Occasionally stop and
ask questions so the students can analyze and discuss the illustrations. While doing a picture
walk using the five Ws and one H question words will keep the students engaged. Some
questions can be:
- What do you think of this picture?
- What do you think it means?
- Who do you think this is?
- What do you think is going on here?
- Why does this character look confused?
- Why does this character look happy?
- Where do you think these characters are?
- When do you think this is taking place?
- How do you think this story is going to end?
4. Dramatic Reading
Read the book aloud to students, using dramatic intonations and gestures.
5. Shared Experiences
Lead the students in a discussion that will allow them to make self to text connections to the
book. Some starter discussion questions:
- Can any of you relate to the character?
- Do you feel your home life is similar to the character? Why?
6. Activity
From reading the story we found out that Marisol is of Puruvian and Scottish descent. We
also discovered that she is very artistic and loves to play soccer. These are just a couple traits
that make Marisol Marisol. In this activity the students will be asked to create a jigsaw
puzzle that will bring out the similarities and differences amongst their peers. Once their
puzzles have been completed they will insert their puzzle pieces in an envelope to swap with
a partner. They will then assemble the puzzles and discuss their similarities and differences.
- Puzzle piece 1=What is your favorite food?
- Puzzle piece 2=What is your favorite hobby?
- Puzzle piece 3=What is your favorite color?
