Common Core Activity:
Standard: I can describe characters, settings, and major events
in fictional stories using key details. RL 1.3 & 1.7
Objective: The student will be able to describe characters from
the story and explain cause and effect situations in the story.
Assessment: We will complete a graphic organizer together that
includes descriptions of characters, cause and effect, and
predictions. We will discuss the story and how Rainbow Fish
changes from the beginning of the story to the end of the story.
Instruction/Guided Practice:
o We will read the first page description of Rainbow Fish and
use our graphic organizer to brainstorm a description of
Rainbow Fish.
o We will read the story all the way through Starfish telling
Rainbow to go see Octopus.
o Next, we will use the graphic organizer to describe the
cause and effect of Rainbow Fish refusing to share his
scales.
o We will continue to read through Rainbow giving Little Blue
Fish a scale and we will use the graphic organizer to
describe Rainbow Fish during this event.
o Next, we will make a prediction about what will happen
next in the story.
o We will finish reading the story. When we are done we will
discuss the graphic organizer and how Rainbow Fish
changes throughout the story.
Closure: We can use many different parts of a story to help us
describe character and make predictions about what will happen
next.
