Teaching Strategies: Include sufficient detail for parents and administration to understand what will be happening in your class. Read Aloud: Today, we are going to read Duck for President. The author is Doreen Cronin and the illustrator is Betsy Lewin. (review what the author and illustrator does). One of the things readers do to help them understand a story better is to think about a problem a character had and how they solved the problem. Read you reach the page where the farm animals post “Farmer Brown Must Go! Farm Election Tomorrow!” rhen stop. Discuss what the problem was. (The animals were tired of all their chores.) Students will respond on the response paper. Then read until you reach the page where Duck is elected on the farm. Discuss how the animals solved their problem. (They elected Duck.) Students will complete the response paper. Read Aloud: Today we are going to read the book again. Yesterday we talked about the problem and solution at the beginning of the book, but today we will talk about the problem and solution towards the end of the book. Pause once Duck has been voted in as the governor and has discovered that being a governor is hard work. Uh! Oh! His trouble is happening AGAIN! Then continue reading. Read until the end. Discuss the problem (it is hard to be in charge) and the solution (Duck returned to the farm. He let Farmer Brown take over the farm. Duck decided to write an autobiography.) Read Aloud: Reread the text. The animals were upset because they had chores to do and the chores were hard work. What chores do you have? Theme study wrap up with a comprehensive discussion and craft. Review: Review the vocabulary words and essential questions. Read Aloud: Inferring Duck for President is a circular story. Which means the story really ends where it started. Review the events in the story (he thought working on a farm was hard, being a governor was hard… until he ends up back on the farm). Now that Duck has decided to write a book, do you think this will be easy for him? Have students discuss their thinking. Then, go back into the text and look for evidence to support some of their answers. Look at the pictures and think about what you know about Duck. Point out that Duck thought the other jobs would be easy. Also point out in the final illustration that he has written and crossed out several lines of the text already.
