Lesson Plan
Opening: Each student will meet in their Internet classroom using Amvonet. The teacher will show
them the front cover of the book using the Ladibug. Students will answer what they believe the book
will be about, making their predictions using only the cover of the book. Each student will share his or
her prediction with the class using his or her microphone.
Presentation and Practice: The teacher will read aloud This is Not My Hat making sure the book is
visible to all students using the Ladibug device. Intermittently, students will answer questions regarding
the story. For example, when the little fish states he is sure that the big fish will not know who took his
hat, do the students think that is true? What clues can the reader use to answer this question?
Closure: Following the reading of the book, each student will explain his or her idea of the end of the
story. They will share what they believe happened in the tall weeds, that which the reader could not see.
One at a time, students will orally share these ideas with the class. When each student has given his or
her ideas as to the ending of the book, students will watch a video of the same book. This video is read
aloud and contains dramatic music. At the end of the video, students will share their ideas about whether
they changed their minds about the end of the story. If so, why? Did the music set the tone for the story?
Did the music change the meaning?
