Description
Bonaparte is in distress about his bones falling apart. He is worried that everyone will make fun of him when he starts school. With no resolve, his monster friends have some boneheaded ideas to try to keep him together. This story of friendship is perfect for the weeks leading up to Halloween. If you don’t have the book, a read aloud link is included.
This Bonaparte Mini Unit begins by reviewing the elements of fiction with a focus on problem, steps to solve the problem, and solution. Students learn that most fictional stories have a problem and solution. Students listen to Bonaparte Falls Apart while focusing on the steps taken to solve the problem. After the story they complete a problem and solution reading response to help them organize the steps taken to solve Bonaparte’s problem.
Next, students work in groups to solve a (escape room) mystery! Bonaparte’s bones have been STOLEN and students must work together, use their detective notes, and solve language tasks to discover who has stolen the bones.
Last, students make a skeleton bones snack and write a “how to” piece.
This unit also includes a problem/solution story response to use with any story, a making connections sheet, and a color by code word category vocabulary activity.
FOCUS:
Reading Strategy: problem/steps to solve the problem/solution, making connections
