Who is this digital literacy pack for?

✍These digital lessons were created with first graders in mind.

What skills will students focus on while enjoying the book?

✍Opinion writing-Students will learn the difference between facts and opinions. They will understand that our opinions need to have reasons to support how we feel or think about a topic. On the paper resource, students will combine their skills of using opinions and reasons with writing a compelling closing to create an opinion writing piece.

✍Fact vs. Opinion Activities-Students will learn the difference between facts [which can be proven] and opinions [how we feel or think]. In a sorting activity, students will distinguish sentences as facts or opinions. In a matching activity, students will match the reasons the Crayons want to leave with each Crayon character. These activities are available digitally and on paper.

✍Comprehension Activities-Students will retell the story using 'somebody,' 'wanted,' 'but,' 'so,' 'then' [SWBST] to guide them in writing about the plot of the story. Additionally, students will read another book of their choice, and use SWBST to retell the story. Students will make text-to-self connections with the character, Duncan, as they compare their crayons to his crayons. To extend their learning, students will read another book of their choice, and make self-to-text connections with the character from that story. These activities are available digitally and on paper. A culminating comprehension quiz is also included. It can be assigned as a Google Quiz or on paper.

✍Word Work Activities-Students will practice ABC order using the crayon color words from the story. For phonics practice, students will use their knowledge of l-blends and r-blends to complete fill-in-the-blank and matching activities. These activities are available digitally and on paper.
