Cheryl J. Myers Materials: List materials for both Student Needs and Teacher Needs Computers, Internet, “This is Not My Hat” by Jon Klassen, “This is Not My Hat” dramatic reading found on YouTube, Ladibug or other document camera, computer video cameras, computer microphones, Amvonet computer program Lesson Plan Opening: Each student will meet in their Internet classroom using Amvonet. The teacher will show them the front cover of the book using the Ladibug. Students will answer what they believe the book will be about, making their predictions using only the cover of the book. Each student will share his or her prediction with the class using his or her microphone. Presentation and Practice: The teacher will read aloud “This is Not My Hat” making sure the book is visible to all students using the Ladibug device. Intermittently, students will answer questions regarding the story. For example, when the little fish states he is sure that the big fish will not know who took his hat, do the students think that is true? What clues can the reader use to answer this question? Closure: Following the reading of the book, each student will explain his or her idea of the end of the story. They will share what they believe happened in the tall weeds, that which the reader could not see. One at a time, students will orally share these ideas with the class. When each student has given his or her ideas as to the ending of the book, students will watch a video of the same book. This video is read aloud and contains dramatic music. At the end of the video, students will share their ideas about whether they changed their minds about the end of the story. If so, why? Did the music set the tone for the story? Did the music change the meaning?
