itle: Exploring Transcriptional Elements in "Rocket Writes a Story" by Tad Hills
Grade: 2nd Grade
Objective:
 Students will identify and analyze the transcriptional elements present in the
children's book "Rocket Writes a Story" by Tad Hills.
 Students will understand how the author uses language, dialogue, descriptive
language, and repetition to convey the story's message effectively.
 Students will practice using transcriptional elements to create their own short
narrative pieces.
Materials:
 "Rocket Writes a Story" by Tad Hills

 Whiteboard and markers or a flip chart
 Story planning template (downloadable from the internet or created by the
teacher)
 Paper and pencils for each student
 Art supplies for illustrating their stories (optional)
Duration: 4-5 sessions (adjust as needed)
Session 1: Introduction to "Rocket Writes a Story"
1. Begin the lesson by introducing the book "Rocket Writes a Story" by Tad Hills.
Show the cover of the book and read the title and author aloud. Ask students
if anyone has read the book before and what they know about it.
2. Provide a brief overview of the story's plot, characters, and setting. Emphasize
that today's lesson will focus on how the author uses transcriptional elements
to make the story engaging and enjoyable.
Session 2: Identifying Transcriptional Elements
1. Create a chart on the whiteboard or flip chart with the headings: "Language,"
"Dialogue," "Descriptive Language," and "Repetition."
2. Read a selected passage from "Rocket Writes a Story" aloud to the class. Ask
students to listen carefully and identify examples of each transcriptional
element. Record their responses in the corresponding columns on the chart.
3. Discuss the examples together and ask students how each element
contributes to the story's overall message and enjoyment.
Session 3: Analyzing Transcriptional Elements in "Rocket Writes a Story"
1. Divide the students into small groups. Provide each group with a different
section of the book or specific pages to analyze.
2. In their groups, students will read and examine the assigned sections to
identify and discuss the transcriptional elements present. They can use sticky
notes or writing materials to mark examples in the book.
3. Have each group present their findings to the class, sharing specific examples
of transcriptional elements they discovered and how these elements add to
the story's appeal.
Session 4: Writing Our Own Narrative Stories
1. Introduce the story planning template to the students. Review each section of
the template and explain its purpose in creating a narrative story.
2. Encourage students to use the transcriptional elements they identified in
"Rocket Writes a Story" as inspiration for their own writing. Remind them to
be creative and imaginative.
3. Give students time to work on their story planning templates. Circulate around
the classroom to provide assistance and feedback as needed.
4. After completing the planning stage, allow the students to begin writing their
narrative stories on a separate sheet of paper.
Session 5: Sharing and Illustrating the Stories
1. Invite volunteers to share their completed narrative stories with the class.
Encourage each student to read their story aloud or summarize it for the class.
2. After each presentation, have the class identify the transcriptional elements
present in the shared story.
3. Optional: For students who finish early or have a particular interest in
illustrating, provide art supplies for them to create illustrations that
accompany their stories.
4. Conclude the lesson by summarizing the importance of transcriptional
elements in making narratives engaging and enjoyable to read.
Assessment:
 Teacher observation of student participation and engagement during

discussions and activities.
 Reviewing students' story planning templates to ensure they include planned
use of transcriptional elements.
 Evaluating the completed narrative stories to assess how well students applied
their understanding of transcriptional elements.
Note: Adjust the duration and complexity of the activities based on the students'
abilities and prior knowledge. Provide support and scaffolding as needed to ensure
all students can participate and succeed in the lesson.
