Procedures 1. Ask the students what kindergarten word that they see on the cover and what animal makes that sound. 2. Ask someone to read the title of the story. 3. Ask the students to predict what the story will be about by looking at the title and the picture. 4. Starting with the first page, have a student read. Ask the students what animal they think will be hiding in the leaves. 5. Have another student read the next page, and discuss the butterflys wings and how they help it hide. 6. Have another student read the next page and talk about the foxs fur. 7. Have another student read the next page and talk about the turtles shell and body. 8. Have another student read the next page and talk about the bat. Discuss that bats like to hang in dark places and that their wings are dark. 9. Have a student read the next page and talk about the owls feathers and how they blend in with the tree. 10. Have a student read the next page and talk about the frog. Also discuss that it is the picture from the cover. 11. Have a student read the last page and talk about how the kid hid. Talk about other ways kids can hide. 12. Talk about the word camouflage and what it means. 13. Have the students close their books and recall animals from the story. Ask them what that animal uses to blend in to their background. Differentiation Content- The book is leveled at the groups reading ability. Because of this, the students should be able to read the book easily. If they have trouble reading a certain word, I will ask them to look at the picture to try to figure out the word. Closure After talking about the different types of animals in the story, the students will be asked to think of any other animals that use camouflage to blend into the background. Materials and Resources Who Hid? by Nancy Leber (Scholastic)

Classroom Management/Democratic Practices Since it is a small group, behavior should not be a problem. If the students are not taking turns talking, I will remind them to raise their hands. I may have to remind them to be quiet and listen while others are reading.

Before the lesson We will discuss what it means to hide, and reasons why animals might want to hide. During the lesson Informal Formative Assessment: I will listen to each student when he or she reads to make sure that he or she is reading accurately. Formal Formative Assessment: I will ask questions about camouflage to see if they are paying attention to the story and to make sure that they understand the concept. At the end of the lesson Formative: I will have the students recall the animals that were in the story and how they used camouflage.

Summative: I will have the students make a graphic organizer of other animals that use camouflage. On one side, the students will list the animal, and on the other side, they will list how the animals use camouflage.
