If You Give a Pig a Pancake


Title: If You Give a Pig a Pancake

Author:
Laura Numeroff grew up in Brooklyn, New York surrounded by books, music, and art. Many of her books can be read because her books can come in a different lagnugae. This is great for a child who does not speak English as a first language.

Publisher: HapperCollins (1998)

Genre
: Fiction

Grade Level
: K-4

Brief Synopsis
: This is a story about a pig who eats pancakes. The story takes you through what happens to the pig while he eats the pancakes and what he has to do to clean up from the mess.

Theme/Skill
: Reading Sequence of events/ Language Arts/Cause and Effect

Pre-activity:
Have the students create a sequence of things they did throughout the day (timeline).

Post-activity
: Students will create a storyline of events that occurred throughout the story, beginning with first, second, third and so on.

My Refection of the book persuading people to read it:


I really like this particular book in the serious because you can have the students create a list of the events in order that occurred throughout the story. This helps the students build comprehension and reading sequencing.
