Description
In this lesson, from ReadWriteThink, students listen to four books by author Leo Lionni over the course of four days. Each reading is followed by discussion focusing on literary elements and comparing characters and plots. After discussion, students participate in creating and organizing information on a large matrix that depicts the main elements of that day's story. Then, they review and retell each story. Several pieces of literature appropriate for use with this lesson are suggested.
