Activity: Tracking Story Elements

Free Downloadable Discussion Guide and Printable Activity Inspired by The Good Egg

by Alana Pedalino

Good-Egg-class-activity-Hero-CUFAB

After leaving its chaotic carton behind, the Good Egg’s nerves are a bit cracked, but that doesn’t stop the Good Egg from embarking on a journey of self-discovery! By the end of the story, the Good Egg rejoins its friends with a new lease on life—and a smooth shell to match.

To help your class understand the Good Egg’s positive transformation, encourage students to illustrate how the Good Egg felt at the beginning, middle, and end of the story using this free downloadable Tracking Story Elements activity. It was inspired by kindergarten teacher Beth S. Prince, who appears in this week’s Book Talks teacher review video!

The activity fits perfectly within a broader class discussion on The Good Egg—particularly about making text-to-self connections, such as:

• Thinking about the times we’ve been good eggs

• Coming up with self-care habits

• Practicing how to handle tough situations with peers

Download the free discussion guide—also inspired by Beth—to use with your students:

A Note from Judy

Dragons are huge fans of tacos—as long as they don’t have one secret, spicy ingredient! The Book of the Week is the laugh-out-loud, fun-to-read-together picture book Dragons Love Tacos, written by Adam Rubin and illustrated by Daniel Salmieri!

Dance to an original song with the Book Boys; discover the many ways that one first grade teacher uses Dragons Love Tacos with her students in Book Talks; read an exclusive interview with Adam Rubin in Behind the Scenes; and download a free printable “Dragons Love My Tacos!” recipe activity in Cooked Up from a Book that also helps students practice sequencing.

We hope that your younger readers have a blast with Dragons Love Tacos—and remember: no salsa!
