order. Put ideas about

Be specific so others can

1. RL.K.3 With prompting and support, identify
characters, settings, and major events in a story.
2. RL.K.6 With prompting and support, name the
author and illustrator of a story and define the role
of each in telling the story.
1. My goal for this lesson is to have my students be
able to identify the main character and the main
event in the story.
2. I want my students to be able to understand the
purpose of an author and an illustrator.
3. The point of this lesson is for the students to
discover what part of the book the author partook in
creating the book and what part did the illustrator
contribute to the book.

1. I will present a PowerPoint going over what a main
character, main event, author, and illustrator is. I
will let the students know that we will be reading a
book and to be looking for these things in the book.
This presentation should take 10 minutes long.
2. I will then read The Very Hungry Caterpillar to the
entire class. Reading the book to the students should

can address students
with varying abilities,
both above and below

take 5-8 minutes, without interruptions. This may
vary depending on any quick discussions.
3. After the story, the students will be shown a random
page in the book. They will be asked to point out
where on the page they think the author
contributed. They will then be asked to do the same
with the illustrator. This is a very quick 2-minute
discussion.
4. The students will then be asked to take out coloring
utensils and a piece of paper to draw what the main
character and what the main event looked like. I
would allow the students to take 10 minutes to
draw their pictures (5 for the main character and 5
for the main event).
5. After all the students have mastered their
illustrations, as a class they will present their
drawings. Being sure to explain what the drawings
represent. This should take about 10-15 minutes,
with no interruptions while students are presenting.
1. For students below typical students, they may be
paired with another student to help figure out who
the main character is and what the main event was.
They should be able to create their drawings
individually.
2. For students above typical students, I may ask them
to describe their illustrations a little more. They
may also create drawings for the setting of the book
as well.
