Little Brown | 
pick#LAE3414sp19 “Little Brown” by Marla Frazee is a fiction, open-ended story about a grumpy little dog that no one will play with. This book also won the Charoletee Zolotow award. “Little Brown” is an interesting book because although it tells the story of a grumpy dog stealing other dogs toys because no one will play with him, the book comes to a halt with no clear ending. This book would be very good to use in the classroom when the
Kcallihan teacher wants the students to learn how to make predictions and back up their opinions with reasoning. This website provides a predictions chart where it has the students‘ predictions on one side and the “why I think this” on the other: https://thisreadingmama.com/activities-for-making-predictions/. 6y
Kcallihan The UDL strategy I would use for this would be 7.1 “optimize individual choice” because this book truly allows for the reader to come up with their own ending all by themselves. The ESOL strategy I would use would be #22, “Give enough wait time for second language learners to respond to questions.” I would use this one because although some students might make predictions quickly, it will take ESOL students longer to catch up with this process. 6y
Kcallihan For this book I think that independent reading (IR) would be beneficial and then each student can come up with their own prediction about what they think will happen. 6y
