Instructional procedure:
Day 1:
- The teacher will start the lesson by reviewing the
key questions.
- Students will watch a short
animated video of one of Shel Silverstein’s poems being read. Eight Balloons
- The students will be given a
worksheet of the poem to follow along with as the video is watched
again.
- After the students have
finished watching it for a second time, the teacher will instruct the
students to read through it on their own. They will be instructed to not
do anything else.
- Once the students have
finished reading it independently, the teacher will pair the students up
to identify the nouns together in the poem. The students will underline
the nouns and identifying if their type: person, place, or thing.
- The teacher will use the
Smart Board to project her copy of the poem. As a class, the students
will be asked to come to the Smart Board and underline the nouns. They
will also be asked to identify which type the nouns are, and write that
on the Smart Board as well.
- After the students have
completely identified all nouns from Eight
Balloons, the students will work independently to complete the next
poem: Recipe for a Hippopotamus
Sandwich.
- Students will have roughly
5-8 minutes to complete this. As a class, we will come back together and
identify the nouns in the same format, as we will with Eight Balloons.
Day 2:
1.
As a class, we will review the previous days activities.

Students will be instructed to use the nouns that were
identified in both poems, to create their own story. They are allowed to use
other words to help structure the sentence.

To assist the students, they may use their worksheets for
reference. Alternatively, they can reference the word list on the Smart
Board.

One thought
highways might be fun - POP!
One took a
nap in a cactus pile - POP!
One stayed
to play with a careless child - POP!
One tried
to taste some bacon fryin' - POP!
One fell in
love with a porcupine - POP!
One looked
close in a crocodile's mouth - POP!
One sat
around 'til his air ran out - WHOOSH!

balloons no one was buyin' -
They broke
loose and away they flew,
Free to
float and free to fly
And free to
pop where they wanted to.
