“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.”
That's Good! That's Bad!
Before:
-
Let the students know that the book follows a specific pattern. Every time you say Oh, that's good. Have them answer by saying Oh, that's bad.
During:
-
Stop every few pages to have the students predict what will happen next.
-
i.e. The red balloon lifted the boy high off the ground - Oh, that's good.
-
No, that's bad - what do you think bad could happen next?
After:
Library Orientation
Review library rules and manners after reading That's Good! That's Bad! by Margery Cuyler.
-
create a class chart with “That’s Good” and “That’s Bad” columns demonstrating library rules
-
read out different rules and have the students sort them according to "That's Good" or "That's Bad"
-
play “Librarian says”, which is like Simon Says except inserting things like “Librarian says... point to the shelf markers. Librarian says... point to the Everybody books”, etc.
