Picture Day Perfection: How Characters Respond to Events

Lesson Introduction

The Picture Day Surprise!

Objective: Today, we are going to explore how characters respond to events in a story, using the exciting theme of Picture Day!

Getting Started: Picture Day in the Classroom

Let’s start our lesson with a fun and engaging activity! Picture Day can be a thrilling and sometimes a little nerve-wracking experience for everyone. To kick things off, I want you to imagine that it’s Picture Day at our school!

  1. Think-Pair-Share:
    • Think: Close your eyes and imagine getting ready for Picture Day. How do you feel? Are you excited, nervous, or maybe even a little silly?
    • Pair: Turn to your partner and share your feelings. Do you think your favorite character in a book would feel the same way? Why or why not?
    • Share: We will come back together as a class and share some of your ideas. How did your character react to Picture Day?

Picture Day Storytime

After our discussion, we will read a short story about a character named Sammy who is getting ready for his school Picture Day. As we read, pay attention to how Sammy feels and reacts to the events that unfold.

Activity: Character Response Chart

Next, we're going to create a Character Response Chart together. We will list different events that happen in Sammy's story and write down how Sammy responds to each event.

  1. What happens to Sammy when he wakes up?
  2. How does he feel when he sees his friends?
  3. What happens when the photographer tells him to smile?
  4. How does he react when he sees his picture for the first time?

Conclusion

At the end of the lesson, we will have a discussion about how different characters react to Picture Day and other events in their stories. By understanding their reactions, we can learn more about the characters and what makes them special!

Now, let’s dive into our story and see how Picture Day unfolds for Sammy! Get ready for some fun and learning!

You’re all set to kick off an exciting lesson on how characters respond to events through the lens of Picture Day!
