From Head to Toe by Eric Carle

Themselves
Open space

4. Procedures: Use numbers, letters or bullets to sequence the teaching of the objectives and
the students participation in the extension activities. The procedures
section should explain the following:

I will introduce the book by showing the cover of the book and asking what they think
the book will be about.
After reading it the first time, I will ask the students to stand up and give themselves
enough space around the room so they do not hit any other student.
I will then reread the book but this time, we will do as the book instructs us. (ie: bend our
necks like giraffes).

5. Closure:

Plan a closure that connects the story and the extension activity.

I will ask the students if they can remember what their favorite animal/movement from the book
was.

6. Assessment:

How will the lesson objectives be assessed? How will we know the
