Yesterday, we talked about what we can do to help people or to be a good citizen at
home or at school. Listen to the story and think about the characters. Does Flat
Stanley do anything to be a good citizen?

Engage and Educate (15 minutes):
1. Teacher will read the book Flat Stanley by Jeff Brown.
2. Teacher will ask prompted questions such as: Do you think Flat Stanley was a
good citizen? Why or why not?
3. Class will discuss examples from the book to decide whether or not Flat
Stanley was a good citizen. Class vote for yes/no on white board.
4. Teacher will explain class activity and show example Flat Stanley. You will be
making your own Flat Stanley out of shapes. Teacher will hold up different
shapes and ask students to identify shapes (circle, square, rectangle,
triangle).
5. Teacher will model directions. You will go to your table and take 1 circle, 4
rectangles, one square and 4 triangles to make your Flat Stanley. Use a little
glue to connect the pieces.
6. When you complete Flat Stanley, write a sentence or two about how Flat
Stanley was a good citizen.

Activity (20 minutes):
1. Students will get materials in the classroom and sit at a table/desk.
2. Students will create Flat Stanley using shapes. Students will then take a piece
of paper and pencil and write a sentence about how Flat Stanley was a good
citizen in the story.

Assessment/Reflection/Connection (5 minutes):
1. Students will return to the carpet for circle share.
2. Three students chosen with fair pick sticks will share their Flat Stanley and
sentence or two about how Flat Stanley was a good citizen.

Next steps:
In Lesson 4, students will explore their community on Google Maps. This will
connect with lesson 5 and predicting where Flat Stanley will go on a map.

Differentiation:
Flexible grouping:
Whole group discussion during read aloud.
Individual work for activity.
Student mode of expression:
Students have various outlets throughout whole group instruction that meet
some of Gardners 8/9 intelligences. Example: Tactile, Linguistic,
Intrapersonal, Interpersonal
Readiness:
Higher level thinking students will answer questions about Flat Stanley as a
good citizen at a different level of Blooms Taxonomy than those students at a
lower level of thinking.
Students who need support will receive individualized instruction during
activity time. Review of shapes is also incorporated into the activity to
reinforce for students who need additional practice with shapes and
identification.
