4. Teaching:

A. Plan for reading the book:

• Before I read Don’t Bump the Glump,

B. Plan for extension activity:

• Students will pick a poem from the book that does not have a creature illustrated for it.
• Once students pick a poem, they will reread it and draw/paint their own version of the
fantastical creature.
• Students will creature their creature using watercolor just like Shel Silverstein did in the
ECE 260 – 3001 Urrea

book.
• When students are done, they will show to the class their creature and explain why they
think it looks like that using evidence from the text.

5. Closure:

• I will remind students of the importance of being able to use their imagination when
reading and how important it is to use the evidence from the text when doing so.
