PRESENTATIONS:
Pam will come decked out in her butterfly-themed outfit and will be ready to highlight key points from the book. She will actively engage all students by reading the book aloud and/or referring to it to when discussing thought-provoking questions. Get ready for a captivating learning experience!
PURPOSEFUL TEACHING MOMENTS:
Butterfly life cycle
Word Choice, especially figurative language
Perseverance and a positive mindset
The Writing Process
CUSTOMIZE TO YOUR GRADE LEVEL!
Pam is not limited to the following, but here are some ideas!
Writing process: She can also tie it into her author journey or into the Rockstar Writers® program.
Figurative Language: She can give a general lesson on similes or go into a deep dive into the types of figurative language for word choice!
Narrative Writing Elements: She can teach more narrative elements such as plot, tension, dialogue, character development, hooks, problem/solution, you name it!
Positive Mindset: She can talk about how different character traits and self-growth.
Behind the Scenes: She can show sketches to illustrations, and tell about the background of the story. (Her daughter is in the story, who is now an adult and often accompanies Pam.)
Time-elapsed Videos: She can show a caterpillar forming a cocoon and a butterfly emerging from the cocoon.
OPTIONAL ACTIVITIES:
- Act out the butterfly life cycle
- Butterfly craft with pipe cleaners (a small charge for materials)
- Butterfly life cycle wheel
- Language arts activity pages for teachers to print.
