Lisa's Daddy and Daughter Day

This week we read Lisa's Daddy and Daughter Day by Eloise Greenfield. Before reading, the students made predictions about what would happen in the story based on just the title and the cover picture. The students predicted that they would be going swimming based on the picture because it appears that she is in a swimsuit and by the water. As they continued to take a picture walk through the book, they changed their prediction because they saw she was not in a swimsuit but rather a tank top and by a park and river. They then predicted that she was looking at boats and airplanes because both were present in the pictures. They then changed their prediction again, as we looked at the pictures, because the last picture shows Lisa looking up. They decided that it meant she was watching the planes  because she was looking up. After making predictions and changing them as we looked at pictures, we talked about confirming and changing predictions based on the clues in pictures. We then read the book and created a class Flow Map of the events in the story. The students then created a three part foldable to write the beginning, middle, and end of the story in their own words.
