Learning Objectives

Indicator: K2.3.1.1.2 - Use illustrations on the cover page and title of Big book to make predictions and answer simple “wh” questions about the text.

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

Look at the cover page of “The Cat’s Hat” Big Book and point to the title and the main illustration.
Make at least one prediction about what might happen in the story based on the cover illustration and title.
Answer simple “wh” questions (who, what, where, when, why) about the story after the teacher reads it aloud.
Act out at least two new vocabulary words from the story and use them in a short sentence about the main character.
Share one personal value they learned from the character in the story (for example, sharing, honesty, or kindness).

This lesson connects to the neighbouring slots in the week by using the conversation about likes and dislikes from K2.3.1.1.1 as a warm-up, and it lays the foundation for recognising letters and words from the theme in K2.3.1.1.3 and writing them in journals in K2.3.1.1.4.
