HOTS: PREDICT
Have the students look at the picture and try to predict what they think the poem will be
about. Ask them how they think the picture is connected to the poem.
Phonics – TH – Before you read the poem, refer to the
students to this feature. Remind them of the sound the
digraph (consonant combination) /th/ makes. Ask them
how many words they can say that have the /th/ sound
in them somewhere.
AL: Students know how word
order, sound and writing systems
in English are organized and how
these elements compare with
their home language.
Ask them if the sound /th/ exists in their own language?
Have them find the words with /th/ on the page and read them out.
