The Mouse
Tales collaborative Internet Project has been a great way to
enjoy some of the many mouse stories that were listed in the
curriculum materials. The children read and listened to The
Lion and the Mouse selections in the WEB resources *. After
reading The Lion and the Mouse, I read Amos and Boris by William
Steig to the children. We discussed the similarities and
differences between the two stories. We also noticed the book
was a wonderful example of powerful word choice. It contained
the words phosphorescent and luminous to describe the ocean at
night. There were so many new words to learn. For this project I
wanted the children to review some of the reading responses our
class has been using this year. Together as a class we completed
five responses on poster size paper for the story, Amos and
Boris. When the responses were completed, the class was divided
into groups of 4 or 5 children. Each group worked on the
computer in MS Word or Inspiration to complete their final
product for one of the five responses. The reading responses
were: story map, Venn diagram, cause and effect, vocabulary map
and flow chart. Please click (*) HERE
