Create successful ePaper yourself

Turn your PDF publications into a flip-book with our unique Google optimized e-Paper software.

Point out how you included and extended the information in the prewriting<br />

handout to write the story (indicated in bold). Have students in their small<br />

groups develop their stories.<br />

Have students edit and revise as needed, and present their stories to the<br />

class.<br />

Have students select an animal and develop a pourquoi story independently,<br />

using the process modeled and done in small groups.<br />

After<br />

Introduce idioms, similes and metaphors about animals. Sly as a fox, quiet as<br />

a mouse, quick as a rabbit, stubborn as a mule, slow as a turtle, “when the<br />

cat’s away, the mice will play,” “an elephant never forgets” are some<br />

examples common in English.<br />

Find pourquoi tales to read aloud to the class such as Anansi stories from<br />

Africa, or coyote folktales from Mexico and Native America.
