Everybody knows about Mr Gallon Man, the rumbustious little man made out of cups, pints and quarts who helps his little friends to remember his measurement terms. Well, today I am going to introduce you to his cousin Mr. Peter Liter. Mr Liter resembles the chap so much that you need to look twice to make sure that you are correct. So when next you are in Measure Land look carefully cuz Mr Liter is ready to teach you a thing or two!

This week I tried something new with the vocabulary in the story. I got the idea at a First Grade Conference in December. The student writes the vocabulary word in the middle of the sheet and then there are four things to do with the word. We completed two of the boxes together as a class and they finished the last two boxes independently. The kiddos sure had a great grasp of the vocabulary after this. When we read the story they had fantastic comprehension.

I love teaching the Elements of Literature! I think it's vital to students understanding what it takes to make a good story (long or short) so they are able to add it to their own stories. Today we expanded from Monday's foldable for PLOT. See the EofLit foldable. We created a page for the basic steps of PLOT: PLOT: sequence of events, cause/effect, conflict, relationships. *the storyline* EXPOSITION: meet the characters; learn about the setting (time & place; where/when); conflict/problem is introduced RISING ACTION: conflict(s) develop; suspense builds CLIMAX: turning point; character faces conflict; main character's attitude changes FALLING ACTION: loose ends are tied up; conflict(s) are being solved RESOLUTION: reasonable ending; conflict is "resolved" (taken care of Using the idea for Dinah Zike's "Layered Notebook Foldable, I created a 4"x6" box with a 1/2" border at the top. I was able to fit two on each page then photo-copied them onto six different colors (I chose "fall" colors...you can choose anything!). Each page supplied two students with boxes; I had them cut them out on the solid black lines. Then, I had them write the above terms and definitions on their papers (one on each paper for a total of six.) NOTE: I created an "Anchor Chart" of the basic page and had that on my whiteboard. I made copies of each page on an 8-1/2"x11" sheet of paper in the colors I wanted them to use and showed them how to layer them using magnets. I LOVED the Anchor Chart idea! {it was fun writing REALLY big! :) }Then we glued them in the Interactive Notebook, dated and titled it, then added it to the Table of Contents. All in all, I'd say it went well. It took about 30 minutes to complete (less if they focuses...more if they talked...). Anchor Chart and notes at the beginning of class.
