Let's Go for a Drive! | Mo Willems

Let‘s Go for a Drive by Mo Willems is an animal fantasy story that was awarded with the Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor Book award. The story is about a pig named Piggie and an elephant named Gerald that decide they want to go for a drive, but before they leave for their drive they want to gather a few things to bring. They need a map, sunglasses, and umbrellas and they sing together as they pack their things. They later realize they don‘t have a car,

emilypalkovich but Piggie thinks of an idea to save the day. This book would be great if used for storytelling because it is fun and simple. A website resource that contains a cute art activity to go a long with this book that will allow students to express themselves is https://i.pinimg.com/originals/52/39/78/52397850159894b2715f270218a6a432.jpg. A UDL principle for this story is providing options for expression and communication. The art project attached does 3y

emilypalkovich just that since it is puppet making. An EL principle for this is number 30: encourage the use of diagrams and drawings as aids to identify concepts. This is done through the project as well. #ucflae3414sp21 3y

DrSpalding I love the idea of integrating the arts! When you see this award you know it is appropriate for your emergent readers in your classroom. One of your peers posted about this book and added a resource related to geography and integrating the curriculum by reading this book aloud in a social studies lesson. 3y

Let's Go for a Drive! | Mo Willems

Gerald and Piggie decide they want to go for a drive. Gerald is a very cautious elephant and makes sure they bring all their necessities for their trip. Each time Gerald suggests a new item they will need, Piggie claims, “I have that”, and quickly returns with two of each item. Eventually, after packing all of their necessities into bags, Gerald remembers that they will need a car, but neither Elephant nor Piggie has a car.

olivia_danko Elephant and Gerald chose to play pirates instead of going on their trip. 3y

olivia_danko This modern fantasy and award-winning Geisel book would be best taught by using UDL 1.3 (Offer alternatives for visual information) As a teacher, you could bring in some of the materials Gerald and Elephant were listing for. For example, sunglasses. The ELS strategy I'd use would be EL 46 Use discovery learning activities (hands-on activities) The students could pass around the items 3y

olivia_danko they named in the book and describe what the purpose of each item is.
With the following lesson perfect for a road trip:

PatriciaS Wonderfully quirky story about friendship excitement and going for a ride, young children love to go, so this is a great read aloud picture book with expressive language. Great review 👍 3y

DrSpalding Lovely summary. Chase did a nice job of sharing this author‘s books during her author study. If you plan on teaching the primary grades, this is a must! I really like your resource and this would be an excellent addition to a geography lesson during social studies. 3y

This MF, Geisel Honor book is another great book by Mo Willems, which would be perfect to use for AS. This book is one from Willems‘ Elephant & Piggie series, about going for a drive, but being prepared and bringing everything they may need, like a map, sunglasses, etc.
With its simple and repetitive language, ESOL strategy 14 simplified language by making it slower and redundant, is used. #ucflae3414sp21

Chaseb UDL 7.2 optimize relevance, value, and authenticity would be perfect for discussing being prepared.

This is a link to the Author study Piktochart I created about Mo Willems, with additional resources included! 3y

OliviaBuck I am officially obsessed with these books! I read Waiting is Not Easy and I can tell all of his books would be great for the classroom. I love your Piktochart too!! 3y

Ericaj Yes, I love this series. It‘s great for beginner readers. I have one of the books, but I will be purchasing more in the future. 3y

DrSpalding I love that you included the Piktochart you created! You clearly fell in love with this author and he is a good one to fall in love with. Please implement the author study with future students and certainly storytell your version of Knuffle Bunny! 3y

This award winning book from the Elephant and Piggie book series, MF-RA, with rhyming words and repetitive phases, is great for literary and fluency exercises, coral response activities. Proceeded by "I really like Stop!" and "Listen To My Trumpet!" This series of expressive books like, "Let's Go For A Drive!" The idea of a car trip is off-the-hook exciting. Elephant shouts, "GET THAT MAP!" And Piggie rushes off. Then the celebration ?"MAP!"

DrSpalding When you see this award, you know this is appropriate for emergent readers. Some of your peers read this book as well and chose to integrate this into the social studies curriculum. Wise choice! When you are talking about maps in a quality piece of children‘s literature, why not extend the learning into geography? 3y
