Give a Mouse a Cookie...

I decided on the book "Give a Mouse a Cookie" because it excites children and is very funny. There are a lot of things that the students could get from the book, this could be predicting what the mouse would do next, concluding what the author's message was, or even writing a new story from the young boy's point of view. The students could do a lot of hands on activities like do each of the activites the mouse did in real life, write down the sequence of their daily life, or even predict what the mouse would do next. This is a fun book and would be an exciting adventure for the class to go on.

I decided to do this book as a literature focus. I chose this because it is all I have seen done in my Reading Workshops that I observed. The teacher I observed does similar activies like I listed above. She would read one book and they would do author's message, infering and predicting, and point-of-views.
