//Instructional Procedures and student engagement:// 1. Ladies and Gentlemen, today we are going to spend most of the day working on our children’s book. I would like for you to come up with your story first in your journal before you start creating your final draft.
 * Procedures**

2. Some of you might have worked on your story last night and if you did, that’s great! If you have a completed rough draft you can show me and I will edit your story and we can perfect it together. We will hold a conference on what kind of pictures you would like to use to help illustrate your story.

3. You can create your story here in class today and then go home on your computer and use goggle images or go to the library and you can use those kinds of pictures or you can draw them yourself. I know not everyone is creative so I want everyone to have a fair chance at using pictures that they like. We have plenty of materials here in class that you can use to be creative with your story.

4. Student’s will be given time to work on their story.

//Closure:// 1. Very nice work today. Don’t forget that this project is due on Monday. I am expecting a lot from you so take the extra time to perfect your story. If I was not able to have a conference with all of you today, we can continue them tomorrow.

Students will be informally assessed when they come to conference with me. I will monitor how they are progressing on their work as well help them in troubled areas.
