They All Saw A Cat written by Brendan Wenzel


They All Saw A Cat

AD310L

            A short tale about how the world sees a cat as the cat goes about its daily life.

Caldecott Medal and Honors 2017
Learning Activity:
In a group, the students will gather and listen to the story They All Saw A Cat. The students will join in for the stressed words, told before reading to participate when they feel they knew what the next word in the story was going to be. The repetition of the story has ‘a CAT’ in every line. After the story is done, as each animal in the story saw the cat from a different perspective the students will draw how they would see the cat.
Standards:
CCSS.ELA-L.RF.K.2 - Demonstrate understanding of spoken words, syllables, and sounds (phonemes).
CCSS.ELA-L.SL.K.5 - Add drawings or other visual displays to descriptions as desired to provide additional detail.

Goal:
The students will be able to listen for stressed words in a rhyming story and be able to follow the rhythm from the teacher’s reading. The students will understand why the cat was drawn differently across the book depending on who it was who saw him.

Objective:
Cognitive –
            The student will listen to the story being read and listen for how the rhythm of the story is spoken. The student will speak the repeated words in the story along with the teacher.
Psychomotor –
            The student will draw how they would see the cat.

Outcome:
The students will follow a set pattern of words that are following a rhythm within the story being read aloud. The students will create artwork like the illustrations in the book for how they believe they’d see the cat.
