Lesson Plan: Non-fictional and fictional books
Thanksgiving & Dora’s Thanksgiving
Objective: Post teaching the lesson, students will be able to differentiate non-fictional and fictional stories.
ELACCKRL1: With prompting and support, ask and answer questions about key details in a text.
ELACCKRL3: With prompting and support, identify characters, settings, and major events in a story.
ELACCKRL6: With prompting and support, name the author and illustrator of a story and define the role of each in telling the story.
Essential question: What are the traits of non-fictional and fictional books/stories?
Assessment Plan (Tools and strategies)
I want to know if the students understand the main traits of fictional and non-fictional story.
I will know if the students obtained this material by their oral responses, participation, and story creation time on the large group prop. I will record and document the results via checklist. I will extend the learning by asking abstract questions such as, “What were some Spanish words said in Dora’s Thanksgiving?”
Materials:
2 Books: 1 fictional & 1 non-fictional
Venn diagram chart
Rules board
Various objects that could be utilized for the details of a story: plastic toys, brick house, and toy cars
Procedures (Lesson Sequence)
Anticipatory set- (opener/ grabber; initial student engagement):
Kiss your brain. Now it’s time to learn.
Hook: What are you thankful for?
Activation/ Review of Prior knowledge: State the Essential question- What are the traits of non-fictional and fictional books/stories?
Fill out the KQLI chart
Body: Review the terms and role of an author, illustrator, title, and spine of the books.
Read a non-fictional book (Thanksgiving by Scuch) and a fictional book (Dora’s Thanksgiving)
Explain traits of a non-fictional and fictional book as the books are read
Read the book and ask questions about the story.
Create a venn-diagram and fill it out
Make up our own story: items will be brought and used for the creation of a story – made-up story, thus they will grab the understanding of a fictional story better.
-setting, characters, problem, and solution
Closure (wrap-up): What we learned re-cap. Fill out the rest of the KQLI chart.
Management Plan
Visual rules board; RESPECT
Break sticks: take a break and do a physical activity. Sticks have activities to do.
Catch a bubble.

This is a cute little Dora book with a focus on Thanksgiving and being Thankful.
I love that the presentation gets little ones to think. Dora asks a question like there "are two people in my family and they take care of me every day. Who are they?" The Answer: mami and papi.
I think that format gets children's imaginations flowing so that you can discuss what other things you and they have to be thankful for.
The book ends with Dora's extended family at the dinner table, and Dora saying that she is glad the reader is her friend.

I actually want to educate my daughter in what this "thanksgiving" holiday means to a variety of people in this country, so this book isn't exactly the direction I want to go in, but she ate while this was being read to her. So that's something.
