Instructional Read Its Mine and Think-Write-Pair-Share

Activities/Strategies 1. Have each student take out a pencil and give them all a sticky note for the Think-
Write-Pair-Share activity. As you read the book aloud, tell students to think about
how the details help you understand the characters and settings. On their sticky
notes, have them write about the characters and settings in the story.
2. After reading, pair students up to share with their desk partners.
3. Possible examples of writing could be: Milton, Rupert, and Lydia were frogs who
did not get along. The three frogs argued throughout the story. They lived on an
island that was surrounded by water. A Large Toad also lived on the island, and
he did not like the three frogs arguing.
4. Call on 2-3 students to share their writing.
