In this Janie original, the VERSES tell a story, and it’s very easy for students to picture in their minds exactly what is happening. Being able to imagine the story that the words convey is an essential element to reading comprehension, fluency, and reading accuracy.
CHOREOGRAPHY is suggested so that the students can really feel as if they are part of the song.
Extended learning might include reading the LYRICS to the students as a story. Emphasize the creepy words. When you read it again, invite them to add some SOUND EFFECTS to add to the eerie effect.
Note: All Learning Guide terms in BOLD FONT and UPPERCASE LETTERS are defined in the GLOSSARY and linked to CD track numbers.
