review 1: “If you love to eat pie, give me a belly rub and say “My-oh-my.” Well, Ol’ Bear loves pie too, but today he is in the mood for a special pie. Raise your hand if you have a favorite kind of pie. We are going to make a graph of everyone’s favorite pie. I will start with apple pie, if your favorite pie is apple pie raise your hand. Next, cherry pie, who loves cherry pie? I love cherry pie, so I’m going to add Mrs. Pekarsky to the cherry list. Raise your hand if you like pumpkin pie? If your favorite pie is not on the list raise your hand and I will add it on. Wow! It looks like the majority of the class likes_____ pie. Now, who is curious about what kind of pie Ol’ Bear is searching for? (Show front cover of book) Ol’ Bear is looking for some “Ug... morely Pie.” Raise your hand if you have ever heard of ugly pie. I sure haven’t heard of ugly pie, but now I want to know what it is. Let’s get started, while I’m reading I want you to listen for the ingredients in the “Ugly Pie.”First, I engaged the students by asking them to rub their bellies and say “My-oh-my,” which is a phrase that Ol’ bear uses throughout the book. Next, I introduced the main character Ol’ bear and the students already had a connection with Ol’ Bear (loving pie). Next, I would make a smart chart of a simple graph reflecting the class’ favorite types of pie. Then I would share with them Ol’ Bear’s favorite type of pie, and ask if the students like Ugly pie. Lastly, I would set the purpose for reading, which is to listen for the ingredients that are used in Ol’ Bear’s Ugly Pie.
review 2: State Award BookAudience: Ages 4 and up, all genders and backgroundsAppeal: This book would appeal to kids that like food (that's everyone, right!), those interested in animal-based stories, kids that enjoy song and rhyme. The Southern dialect might make some students a little confused, but usually most get the hang of that sort of thing pretty quick.Application: I would use this book to help demonstrate visual imagery with my students.Award List: 2012-2013 Nebraska Golden Sower Award Nominee less
