Chapter+1+Pudding

Day 1

 * 1) Introduce the book. Has anyone ever heard of the Julian / Huey books? It's a harder book, and a chapter book, and there are a whole bunch of books about them. I thought you might like to try them, and if you like them, you might start reading them on your own!
 * 2) First chapter: Pudding Like a Night on the Sea. Look at page 4. There aren't a lot of pictures for making __predictions__. From the title of the chapter, and the picture, what can you predict about the chapter? Look at page 11.
 * 3) Introduce characters: Huey, Julian, mom, dad
 * 4) Read pages 1-2 alone.
 * 5) What is going on in the story? Turn and talk.
 * 6) What kind of pudding is their dad going to make?
 * 7) Talk about a raft of lemons and "windowpane" (infer what they mean)
 * 8) What can you __infer__ about what kind of person their dad is? look at page 2
 * 9) Homework: on your own, read to page 6 where it says "Leave the pudding alone!"

Day 2

 * 1) Talk about how you beat eggs. What are whites and yolks? What happens when you beat them? What do you beat them with? Talk about fluffy egg whites and how much work it is to get them like that.
 * 2) What was it like in the kitchen when their dad made the pudding? Was it relaxing? What were each of them doing?
 * 3) __Predictions__: "Leave the pudding alone!" What do you think might happen? I think the author is giving you a hint of something that might happen!
 * 4) Read to page 9 when they "pressed themselves to the wall."
 * 5) Turn and talk: what is going on now?
 * 6) What does it mean when it says the pudding looked like craters on the moon? __Infer__.
 * 7) Why do you think they ate the pudding? Why did they eat more and more? Think, pair, share.
 * 8) Homework: Read to the end of page 12.

Day 3

 * 1) What happened up to page 12? __Predictions__ of what will happen now? Do you think their dad will beat them? What is your evidence?
 * 2) Read to page 14 in the middle of the page.
 * 3) What is happening? What is the beating and the whipping? Why is their dad making them do that? Are you surprised?
 * 4) Finish the chapter. Do you think their dad chose a good consequence for them?
 * 5) What do you think their mom thought about all of this?

Day 4
Re-read the chapter? __Synthesize__? What do you think the chapter is about? What does the author want you to think about or learn? What did you learn about their dad? About Huey and Julian? What __questions__ do you have about them?
