This science fictional book, Just A Dream by Chris Van Allsburg, has yet to have won an award; however, it would be a great book to LC. A young boy named Walter refuses to pay attention to where he should place the litter into the proper place. He goes to sleep one night and wakes up into an adventure into his future where there is litter everywhere. Walter wakes up with a different mindset towards keeping the environment clean.

DianaHerrera Before the students begin to read, they make predictions in the story to guess what the story will be about (begin with step 2). After the students have read the story, they will be using the eight discussion cards and answer the questions from step 1: think-pair-share. Next, the students will be placed into small groups and set the sorting cards in order from the story. 6y

The students will go back to sorting events, but this time they will need to sort out environmental issues from the story. One student will flip over one card and read the statement out loud. 6y

DianaHerrera The teacher will need to ask them under which category it belongs to. As a class, they will give a thumbs up if they agree or a thumbs down if they disagree. If a card does not fit into a category (because some actually do not) then they can create their own category for those. Each student is, of course, going to take turns picking up a card and participating in the game. 6y

DianaHerrera UDL 2.1 is important for this lesson because students are to understand the different terms to help clarify the definition and symbols. ESOL 44: Students are to focus on their thinking skills which is to make predictions, categorize, classify and report the sequence of events from the story. #UCFLAE3414SuB18 ♻️🛌 6y

DrSpalding I am so glad that you selected this book. I think it is a wonderful book for performing the activities you included here. What a great idea to use a graphic organizer to learn more about the high level vocabulary in this book! 6y
