Didactic unit: The very hungry caterpillar

Activities before reading:

- Related to food: First of all, we will give them a box that contains different types of food (healthy and unhealthy food), so they have to choose which one of them are healthy and unheathy food.

 

- Related to de ICT: Then we are going to create a puzzle using the ICT, because from our point of view it´s a very motivation activity and children in general like the technology.

 

- Related to the Life-cycle of the butterfly: We will give them a photocopy in which appears the life -cycle of the butterfly, and then they will have to paint it. It´s a good way for them to understantd better the story that we will read.

 

Activities while reading:

 

- Related to the numbers and colors: While we read the story, I will ask them some questions about the numbers that appear in the book such as How many pears did the caterpillar eat?

 

- Related to predictions: We will ask some questions such as What´s going to happen?

 

Activities after reading:

 

- Related to the explanation: We will ask them some questions so we will see if they understand something of this process such as: What did you learn? Dou you like the story? What´s was your favorite part?

 

- Related to drama: They will create some costumes of the different animals and food that appear in the story and then they will perfomance with our help.
