After Reading
Have children gather back as a total group. Have them share the information they wrote on their hand outlines. Ask: Do any of you do the same thing to stay healthy? Why is it important for us to stay healthy? Would you add any more information to the text? Say: Look at the words on the board. Ask: Were these words important to the story? How?
Visual Learning
Have children pretend they are in the text. By asking questions about the illustrations, children will make mental connections between images, meaning and prior knowledge. Ask: What could you hear if you were with the girl on page 3? Page 4? Page 5? Why do you think that? What could you taste if you were with the girl on page 7? Why? What could you smell? Why? How would you feel after spending some time with the girl? Why?
