Ask students to get 4 different coloured felts and circle the date for the beginning and ending of each term in one colour.Discuss what they observe about the length of time the Worm’s Diary was kept? How many months, what fraction of the year? Four read-aloud sessions engage students by focusing attention on different features of the text in. They then begin examining the book in layers. Students begin the lesson by brainstorming what they know about worms. Go back over the story calling out the dates in order and asking the group to find and circle each Worm Diary date in one colour.Īsk students to take the calendars apart and staple them together end to end in order forming a long line from January to December. As students read Doreen Cronins Diary of a Worm in this lesson, they learn to separate the facts from the fictional details. After reading, hand out calendars (these can be purchased at discount stores or be from previous years, or printed and copied from templates in Word) to small groups.How many days have gone by since worm’s last entry in his diary? Include the vocabulary of yesterday, tomorrow, week, month.
