steps/process you will follow. Be sure to identify how you will check for understanding and
collect formative data. Differentiate for students who will require an accommodation or
modification in order to be active participants in this lesson and state these strategies in the

1. Have students draw pictures of the following situation: You have only one piece of
candy and someone asks you for it. Draw a picture showing what you would do.
Allow students to share pictures and comments.
2. Tell students that you are going to read a book about someone who had
something that others wanted. Show students the cover of the book and discuss.
3. Read the first page description of Rainbow Fish. Use a graphic organizer to have
students brainstorm words or ideas that describe Rainbow Fish.
4. Continue reading, showing students pictures, through starfish telling Rainbow to
go see the octopus.
5. Use graphic organizer to describe the cause and effect of Rainbow Fish refusing
to share his scales.
6. Continue reading story through Rainbow Fish giving Little Blue Fish a scale.
Students will use a graphic organizer to describe this event, to write a sentence
and/or draw a picture to depict the event, and then to write a sentence and/or
draw a picture making a prediction about what they think will happen next in the
story.
7. Read remainder of story and discuss.
8. As a class or individually, use a graphic organizer to describe Rainbow Fish at the
beginning of the story and at the end of the story and what caused him to change.
Discuss real life application (generosity).
9. Have students complete an art project. Use paper plates to make a Rainbow Fish.
Cut triangle shaped wedge (fish mouth) and glue to opposite side (fish tail). Use
paint, glitter, blue paper, and shiny paper to make scales on the fish.
10. Use sentence strips to have students complete the sentence: "Rainbow Fish was
generous by giving away his scales. I am generous because I..."
11. Allow students to share completed projects. Display students' Rainbow Fish and
sentence strips in classroom or hallway.

Closure
How will you question students in order to evaluate if the objective(s) was met? How will you
question students to connect this lesson to previous and subsequent lessons as well as connect to
their own lives? How will you question students to see the relevancy of the lesson by
understanding the purpose/importance of the learning?
Students will prove their understanding through their projects, graphic organizers, online
polls, and the class discussion. Ill be sure the students are able to connect what they learned
from the Rainbow Fish to their everyday lives. To assure they understand the importance of the
lesson, Ill ask questions that make them think about what the right decision would be, and
why. For example, is it generous to share my iPad with my neighbor, why or why not? The
key is to have the students elaborate.
