Funny Farm

Funny Farm

Written by Mark Teague

Summary: Edward goes to visit Hawthorne Farm. He is tired out by participating in many farm chores.

Mini-Lesson: Sequencing

This is a simple picture book, great for discussing sequence of events.  The events are simply stated and easy to remember.  Write events on sentence strips or use picture cards and have the students put the events of the story in order.

Mini-Lesson: Characters and Setting

A clear description of characters and settings also make this a great book for introducing these two important parts of the text.  Make a chart of the story characters and the settings.
