Curriculum-based Follow Up to Jape’s Book Reading

After the dramatic reading with Jape, teachers can offer the following mini-lesson and writing prompt:

Goal: Students will use verbal, written and creative artistic expression to gain understanding of storytelling conventions.

Objectives:

• Students will be exposed to the following terms: character, conflict and story
• Students will link these terms to literary, TV and movie characters with which they are already familiar.
• Students will articulate descriptive language to evaluate characters’ physical and personality traits.
• Students will write and draw characters of their own invention.

Procedure:

1. Teacher shows students a variety of illustrations or images of familiar characters from books, TV and movies.
2. Students will identify characters’ names and traits.
3. Teacher will define character: someone who does something in a story. He or she usually has a problem that he or she must solve.
4. Students will brainstorm and briefly share the major events of a story they know.
5. Students will draw a character they invent. Students will write physical traits such as: dog/ red/ tall/ fury and personality traits such as: nice/ happy/ helpful.
6. Students will continue to decorate their illustrations with art supplies such as glitter, yarn, marker to create Popsicle stick puppets.
7. Students will collaborate in groups (3-4) to integrate characters into a story they devise together according to these guiding questions:
   • How do the characters get along?
   • What problem do they have?
   • What can they do to solve this problem?
8. Higher level learners can elaborate on their invented characters by writing a simple story.

Assessment:

Each group will present its story to the others. Teacher will evaluate each group using rubrics that qualify:

• Oral expression
• Creative Expression
• Written Expression
• Cooperative dynamic
• Mastery of new concepts/ terms
