1st Grade Read Aloud Book: A House Is a House for Me by Mary Ann Hoberman Big Idea: Students will realize that many objects belong or are a home to something. Focus: Students will be able to write their own "A __________ is a house for a ______________". They will be able to correctly spell "for" each time (one of the 30 benchmark spelling words.) They will practice correct sentence format.

Assessment: - Discussion: Before reading, ask students what they think about when they think of a home? Have them draw their definition of a home on a whiteboard and show. After reading, ask them the same question and draw a new picture. Do there depictions become more broad, or are they still narrow?

- Copy page 26. Ask them to write a sentence for each picture they see. FORMAT: A _____________________ a home _____________________.

After they complete it for the pictures on page 26, have them create 2-3 of their own sentences.
