The
Very Hungry Caterpillar Project
| After reading The Hungry Caterpillar, draw the fruits and foods that
the caterpillar eats on index cards. Use these for instruction when teaching
receptive and expressive vocabulary. Show the child and ask "What is this?".
This targets expressive vocabulary skills.
Place three or four cards in front of the student. Ask them to "point to the ______(food)". This targets receptive vocabulary skills. |
| Students will play online comprehension game at:
http://olp.swlauriersb.qc.ca/webquest/caterpillar/caterpillar.htm This game is designed to assess the children’s understanding of the book by asking multiple choice questions. |
| Do a sequencing lesson on the life cycle of a butterfly beginning with eggs on a leaf, caterpillar stage, pupa or chrysalis stage to adult butterfly. |
| Students will work on sequencing the book. Purchase The Very Hungry Caterpillar Coloring Book and shrink the pages. Take these cards and mix up the entire story. Put the children into groups of two and have them work together until they can put the story back into the correct order. When they are finished, ask them to check each other’s work. When they are finished let the whole class mix the story up for me and let them check the teacher’s work! |
| The students will sequence story events and days of the week, according
to the book The Very Hungry Caterpillar and individually demonstrate comprehension
by retelling The Very Hungry Caterpillar story through an individually
created book.
