In order to choose a
proper book to tell to my students I have chosen “Panda bear, panda bear, what
do you see?” Because is a very good book
to be told, read and to do activities about it.
This story has a
repetitive structure which makes easy to the kids to remember it. In the
structure, the animal that has being seen in the last page, not only answers to
the question about what is the next animal that is going to appear, it also
speaks about something that is typical for that animal, like swimming for the
turtle or soaring for the bald eagle. The pictures, are also perfect for the
students, because are similar to the ones that they would do to draw those
animals.
To tell the story to
the kids I have prepared a storytelling based on a song that speaks about a
person going on a safari. It says:
“Going on safari and
what do I see? A (Animal name) looking at me.
It says (Animal sound
while we do the animal movement) and I agree with the (Animal while we do the
animal movement again) looking at me”
We use the same
repetitive structure that the book has, and we can also ask to the kids which
one is going to be the next animal. The story is going to be told a few times
after letting the kids have the handout. Before that we have to explain to the
kids that the story is a bit different in the text than in the song, in order
to prevent mistakes while they are reading the book by themselves.
Here is a link to the song YouTube video
