Body of the lesson

  • Show the children the cover of the book and read the title to them.
  • Ask the children to predict what they think might happen in the book (ask those who know the book to keep the information for later in the lesson)
  • Begin to read the story.
  • As you read the story pause after each crayon’s story and encourage the children to show empathy to how the crayon is feeling.
  • Allow the children to predict how some of the crayons may be feeling before reading that crayon’s recount.
  • Allow the children the opportunity to predict how Duncan can fix all the problems of the crayons.
