TIPPart2 FirstStep Students will be engaged with the fairytale stories presented to them; having a variety of stories told to them. This will be an interactive way for the students to be involved in re-telling a story, creative story writing and presenting via animated KidPix. They will answer questions, by building upon their comprehension of elements of a story, character, setting, problem / solution. These story elements will be described to them before the story is read aloud to them. This lesson will take the course of two weeks to complete. The teacher will explain that there will be fairy tale stories read aloud to them with the use of a digital story on the SmartBoard with the use of the Kindle or iPad. Each story will be presented in fully illustrated book format and easy to see. They will have a book discussion after each fairy tale is read. There will be one story read each day. Teacher will pre-emptively motivate before each story to think about the characters, setting, problem and solution in the book, by writing these story elements on the white board in dry erase marker. The elements of a fairy tale will be explained and a discussion will be held with students after each story is read aloud. In the discussion, all fairy tale elements will be explained including the following: Once upon a time or a long, long time ago and / or they lived happily ever after. The setting is often in a castle, or in a forest or in a cottage, etc. Characters will include at least one good character and a villain, or evil character. Fairy tale characters may also include animals. We will explain also that magic is often a component of fairy tales. The fairy tales: Rapunzel, Hansel and Gretel and Cinderella and The Ugly Duckling. Pre-empting questions before the story is read to encourage their listening skills, as the story is read. During the open group discussion each day, students will be reminded that we take turns. If the questions regarding setting, characters, problem or solutions are answered incorrectly, the teacher will prompt further questioning to help guide students to the correct answer. While brainstorming ideas for their own fairy tales, teacher will prompt students to discuss the components of a fairy tale; displaying them on the white board. During the lesson students should be attentive to the teacher; evidenced by the expressions on their faces. Students will be participating by listening and modeling proper student behavior. Teacher and co-teacher will be present to provide additional assistance for student questions related to the fairy tale stories, themes and elements presented for the week.
