March 2004     Vol.5 Issue 3

Suggested lesson plan for
"Kids create storytelling artwork"

Possible hard words: Proper names: ST-ART Club, Washington Middle School. Amanda Lehr, Ruthilde Kronberg Youth Storytelling Concert, Stuart Little, Jared Herbst, Erica Bushman, Melanie Martin, Kira Klein, Emily Martin, Alisha Matthews, New Orleans, Kate Stieren
Other words: ancestors, penguins, eccentric, illustration, stylized

BEFORE READING: In order to help the young reader be able to fluently read the article, have him or her read the list of possible hard words. You help out with any names or words that appear to be causing difficulty. Then ask the young reader to read the article aloud to you and be prepared to discuss it afterward.

DURING READING: Supply any names or words fairly rapidly if they appear to be causing difficulty. The object is to keep the oral reading reasonably fluent.

AFTER READING: Use question such as the following in order to check comprehension and stimulate a discussion of the article.

  1. Where will the kids' artwork be displayed during the festival?
  2. What are some of the topics that the kids tell stories about?
  3. What do the kids do in the festival besides just displaying their pictures?
  4. Would you be interested in attending the storytelling festival? Why or why not?
