This lesson plan aims to teach preschool to 2nd grade students about vocabulary, sequencing events, and comprehension through the story The Grouchy Ladybug by Eric Carle. The students will make predictions about the story based on the cover, learn new vocabulary seen in the illustrations, and practice sequencing the main events through an activity with picture cards. The teacher will assess student understanding through discussion questions before, during and after reading and by having students sequence the story events. Extensions include dramatizing the story or acting out movements of different animals in the story.
