CKLA 2nd Domain 6 Lesson 6

​Listen carefully to find out about the life cycle of a chicken.

​• Explain to students that they will all get to be authors and illustrators in the next activity.
• Give each student a sheet of paper folded in half. On one half of the paper, have each student write a sentence about the life cycle of a chicken from egg to egg.
• Pair them with a partner. Ask them to read their sentence aloud to their partner and then trade papers. Using the second section on their partner’s paper, have each student draw a picture that goes with their partner’s sentence.
• Then have students hand the paper back to the original author. Encourage the author to add descriptive words to their original sentence using carets, and hand the papers back to the illustrators to draw more details into the illustration.
• Allow several students to share their drawings and sentences. Have them discuss how their partners’ illustrations differed from the pictures they had imagined in their heads when they wrote their sentences.
