Lesson Plan:
Introduction: (Anticipatory Set/Motivation):
Ask students, “What do you know about flamingos?” Play the video:
https://youtu.be/3IA_HRxnQSA with facts about flamingos. Discuss what we learned about
Flamingos.
Process:
Information Giving:
• The teacher will ask students, “Look at the character’s facial expression. What type of character do you think
she will be?” Compare her to the character from yesterday’s book, “The bad seed.”
• The teacher will inform the students that today we will be reading the book, Sylvie. The students will pay
close attention to the character’s actions and feelings.
• (Actions) What does the character does in the story. (Feelings) we can tell how a character feels by looking at
their facial expression.
• There are four vocabulary words in our story. We also need to be listening for these words. Go over the
meaning of each vocabulary word: Delicious, wonder, nibbling, and bouquet. Also, put a movement with each
word for the students to do when they hear one of these words.
Modeling: What is Sylvie doing in the story? (eating other foods/ changing color). How do you think Sylvie feels
after she turns green from eating the leaves?
Check for Understanding: Do you think Sylvie was unhappy being pink? How does she feel after eating all of these
different foods? What lesson do you think Sylvie learned? Do you think that Sylvie will continue to eat different
foods?
Guided Practice: Ask the students, “What food would you like to try if you were Sylvie? What would you look
like?” Have them turn and talk with a partner. Call on some students to share their thoughts.
Independent Practice: The students will complete the writing prompt: “If I ate ______, I would look ____.” They
will fill in the blanks with their idea. After writing they will grab a flamingo page to color how they said they would
look. They will then cut this out and glue it to their writing.
