The Three Billy-Goats Gruff.docx



Name of Lesson: The Three Billy-Goats GruffUnit/Topic: Fairy TalesApproximate time: 45 minutesGrade Level: 1stStandards:1.RL.9 Compare and contrast the adventures and experiences of characters in stories. Objectives:Students will be able to identify 3 similarities and 3 differences, 3 for one story and 3 for another story, between two different fairy tales. Materials/Equipment/Technology: The Book The Three Billy-Goats GruffChart paper and markerDocument cameraPencilVenn Diagram WorksheetRealia: saucerKey Vocabulary:Poker - a long rod with a handle at the end, it is used to stir wood in a fireSaucer - a small circular plate with a smaller indented circle to place a cup on itProcedure:TeacherStudentWhat is the teacher doing?What are the student doing?Have students sit on the carpet area “Today we will be reading, The Three Billy-Goats Gruff.” Hold up the book to the class and have them observe the cover. “What do you think this book is going to be about?” (Answer: Three billy goats) “As I read, make sure we are listening to how the story begins, how it ends, the characters, villain, setting and the problem of the story. There will be some new words that we will be learning about in this book. We will get to them as we encounter them in the book.”Begin reading the story, stop after the first page. “What do you think it means that the three billy-goats were going to the hillside to make themselves fat?” (Answer: To eat).On the third page, you will introduce the new vocabulary:Saucer: a small circular plate with a smaller indented circle to place a cup on it (This will be a good time to pull out the play dishes to demonstrate to the students what a saucer looks like)Poker:a long rod with a handle at the end, it is used to stir wood in a fireContinue reading the story, remember to use an actor’s voice so that students can distinguish from the goats and troll. “Who can tell me what the story was about?” (Answer: three goats who wanted to cross the bridge to eat)“Together as a class we are going to fill in our fairy tale chart by adding this story to it as well as all the other story elements.” (take out the fairy tale chart and tape it to the whiteboard - as students answer the questions write the information on the chart)“What was the name of the title?” (Answer: The Three Billy-Goats Gruff)“What was the setting of the story?”(Answer: Outside by the bridge)“Who were the characters?”(Answer: The three goats and the troll)“Who was the villain?” (Answer: the troll)“What was the problem?”(Answer: the goats wanted to go eat but the troll was not letting them)“Thank you for sitting quietly during the story and for helping me fill out the chart. We are now going to go back to our seats and compare and contrast this fairy tale with the fairy tale we read yesterday, The Three Little Pigs.”(Dismiss students by learning club....1, 2, 3, 4, & 5)“I need 5 people to come up and get worksheets for their groups. (The students know who needs to come up) Please write your name, fire drill number and date on the worksheet.”Place a worksheet under the document camera so that you can model what the students should be doing. (write your name, fire drill number -100, and date on the paper)“Who has seen this before...the two circles or rings? This is called a venn diagram. We use this graphic organizer to organize our thoughts and ideas. One circle is labeled The Three Little Pigs and this is where we are going to write everything about the this fairy tale that is different from The Three Billy-Goats Gruff. The other circle is labeled The Three Billy-Goats Gruff and this is where we will also write down what is different from this fairy tale than The Three Little Pigs.The center where both rings or circles meet is labeled as both. This is the area where we will write down what was the same in both stories.” Bring out both books, The Three Little Pigs and The Three Billy-Goats Gruff. “We just read the Three Billy-Goats Gruff. Let’s review what happened in The Three Little Pigs since we read that yesterday.” Call on a student to summarize what happened. “So let’s begin with what did the two fairy tales have in common? What was the same?” (Answers: both had 3 animals as the main characters, both had a villain, both started out with Once upon a time...., and both had talking animals).“What was different in The Three Little Pigs?” Call on students. (Answers: wolf, pigs, built houses, animals wore no clothes, author was B. Moser)“What was different in The Three Billy-Goats Gruff?” Call on students. (Answers: troll, goats, the goats wanted to cross the bridge, troll wore clothes, and the author was E. Appleby.) “Nice job helping me fill out this venn diagram. Why do we use a venn diagram? (Answer: To organize our thoughts and ideas) On the left we have written down what was different in the fairy tale The Three Little Pigs. On the right we have written down what was different in the fairy tale The Three Billy-Goats Gruff. What did we write in the middle?” (Answer: what was the same in both fairy tales)“Remember to check your worksheet that you have written your name on it. Please turn it in and line up quietly because it is time to go to music.”Students are sitting quietly on the carpet with hands and feet to self. Students are actively listening and participating.Students are participating by answering questions and raising their hands when called on. Students transition to their desks when dismissed.Five students come and get worksheets for their groups.Students are writing their name, fire drill number and date on the worksheet.Students are participating in discussion. Students are observing both books and thinking independently about what happened in each story, how they are alike and how they are different. Students are raising their hands and sharing ideas and thoughts. Students turn in assignment and line up quietly for mediaAssessment: __X__ Formative_____ SummativeDid they meet the objective? Explain with evidenceStudents were able to meet the objective of identifying similarities and differences between two fairy tales. The books that were compared were The Three Little Pigs and The Three Billy-Goats Gruff. They used a venn diagram to organize their thoughts and ideas. The Venn diagram will be graded and recorded 3 points for three similarities between the books, three differences for The Three Little Pigs and three differences for The Three Billy-Goats Gruff for a total of 9 points possible. Adaptation/Modification:ESOLAccess to the booksReview of vocabularyModeling using the document cameraRealia: bringing in an actual saucer so students can see what it isTAGExplain their reasoning using details from the book Write in other things into the Venn diagrm that they come up with as a similarity or differenceSpecial NeedsOption when teacher notices student’s lack of attention on task or restlessness:Ask student to help hold the bookSit closer to teacherPass out materialScaffolding: rephrase questions and repeat multiple times by not asking closed-ended questions. Repeating the question and answerUsing the document camera and modelingNext Steps:What are your next steps, based on your students’ performance?Students were introduced to a Venn diagram today. They had already done some comparing and contrasting in the past so this was somewhat familiar. I introduced the Venn diagram to show them how we can organize our thoughts and ideas on paper and how two fairy tales are alike (which is why the venn diagram overlaps). The students were able to write down the information based on the fact that I was modeling for them by using the document camera. The students were able to use two different fairy tales to compare and contrast them. This was a review for them but introducing the venn diagram was new to them.What worked today?The students were excited to share their thoughts and ideas about the two books. I think almost every student was raising their hand to share. What would I change?I think that I could change the format of the venn diagram and make it bigger or even add writing lines so students know how big or small to write. Many of them had trouble keeping the writing in the space and many had to write below the venn diagram. Other students started off writing straight but sooner than later it was slanted and that left less room on the venn diagram. ................
