Objective:  Second  grade  students  will  investigate  strategies  for  enhancing  social  and  communication  skills  concerning  friendship.    Students  will  read  the  book  How  To  Be  A  Friend  as  a  small  group  and  then  by  using  cooperation  and  tactics  from  the  book,  synthesize  their  learning  by  presenting  their  group’s  information  in  a  creative  format.    Materials:  How  To  Be  A  Friend  by  Laurie  Krasny  Brown  and  Marc  Brown  (nine  copies),  art  supplies  for  creative  project,  post-­‐it  notes    Overview:    This  book  will  be  incorporated  into  each  day’s  mini  lesson  for  two  weeks.    Each  day,  for  15  minutes,  the  teacher  will  read  a  section  of  the  book,  encourage  brief  discussion  and  then  have  students  act  out  or  read  the  scenarios  within  each  section.      Sections  include:

Format  for  presentations  will  be  the  group’s  choice,  but  could  include  a  poster,  a  performance,  a  written  story  based  on  the  behaviors  of  their  section,  a  journal  entry,  a  song  or  a  poem  –  anything  creative  that  the  group  agrees  on.    Procedure:    

1.   Assign  students  to  groups  (2-­‐3  in  each  group).    Explain  that  this  will  be  their  working  group  as  we  begin  a  new  mini  lesson  unit.  

2.   Explain  that  this  will  be  their  group  as  we  read  through  the  book  and  then  do  the  final  project.  

3.   Assemble  children  on  the  reading  carpet  4.   Have  Group  1  sit  up  front  facing  the  class,  next  to  teacher.  5.   Hand  out  books  to  each  group.  6.   Explain  that  Group  1  will  get  to  read  and/or  act  out  the  dialogue  today,  Group  2  will  do  

it  tomorrow  and  so  on.  7.   Begin  lesson  by  introducing  the  book.    Explain  that  even  though  they  may  know  about  

friends  and  friendship,  this  book  will  help  us  think  about  respect,  expressing  our  feelings,  managing  disagreements  and  making  new  friends.  

8.   Read  the  first  two  sections  of  the  book  (Me,  Myself  and  I  &  Who  Can  Be  Your  Friend)  9.   Teacher  will  read  the  regular  text,  Group  1  will  read  the  dialogue.    10.  Ask  students  if  they  could  make  any  connections  with  this  first  section  of  the  book.    

Think/Pair/Share  with  your  group.  11.  Upon  completion  of  the  reading,  have  students  share  one  of  their  connections  on  a  

post-­‐it  note  and  give  to  you.    This  will  act  as  a  formative  assessment  after  each  day’s  reading.  

12.  Continue  with  this  pattern  of  reading  the  book  each  day.    The  second  day  will  have  Group  2  perform/read  aloud  the  dialogue  and  so  on.  

13.  When  book  is  completed,  explain  that  students  will  now  work  in  groups  to  create  a  presentation  for  their  section.      

14.  Students  will  have  two  days  to  create  their  project.    They  will  use  time  during  reading  to  collaborate  on  a  presentation  of  their  choice.  

15.  Each  group  will  present  their  section  of  the  book.  16.  Students  will  be  asked  to  write  down  a  friendship  goal  that  they  have  after  reading  the  

book.    This  will  act  as  another  form  of  assessment.    17.  Student  goals  will  be  posted  on  a  bulletin  board  within  the  room.  

 Assessment:    Students  will  be  formatively  assessed  each  day  by  sharing  connections  with  the  text  on  a  post-­‐it  note  and  turning  it  in  for  teacher  review.    At  the  end  of  the  presentations,  students  will  also  be  asked  to  create  a  self-­‐goal  for  practicing  the  friendship  strategies  within  the  book.    Group  participation,  cooperation  and  effort  will  be  scored  on  a  rubric  (below).
