The Day The Crayons Quit

Product Information

To build the skill of empathy, encourage the children to talk about their feelings towards each individual crayon: Students will demonstrate by discussing how the characters and settings of different texts explore how language is used to present these features in different ways (ACELT1591). This prefix and suffix worksheet is perfect for older learners who still enjoy an animated, picture book! Learners will gain an understanding of how to use simple prefixes and suffixes in relation to their emotions; enabling them to better express the extent of their feelings. Both yellow and orange crayon think they are the colour of the sun – which one do the children think is correct? Do they have any alternative solutions to saying one crayon is ‘right’ and another is ‘wrong’?

Ignored, stereotyped and diminished, if the crayons in your classroom could talk, they might object to their treatment. Understanding why leads to great lesson activities, says Sue Cowley... The students who require assistance with their drawing will have objects pre drawn, use stencil outlines, tracing paper with pre drawn outlines and have the teacher assist the students with identifying their drawing objects for them and will just require to cut out the objects, colour and join them together to make a 2D or 3 D object / s. The students sit on the floor in the English / Literacy learning area facing the teacher, whiteboard, teacher chair, the big book – The Day the Crayons Quit – which is placed on the ledge of the Whiteboard and large cut outs of the five – w’s – where, what, who, when and why? And 1 H – How (in different bright bold coloured art cardboard – and typed up using large Victorian Cursive font- Writing font to suit the teaching state). When Duncan reads the letters from the yellow and orange crayons, he sees that they both want to be the color of the sun because they believe there is only one way to color it. The yellow crayon believes that only yellow should be used to color the sun, while the orange crayon believes the sun should be orange. Is there only one way to color the sun? Can the green crayon be used to color the sun? How do we define what artwork should look like, and is there only one way that it can look? The teacher also gets the students thinking about the follow up lesson by stating questions about why do the students think the crayons wanted to quit? Did they do it in the right way? If you were Duncan or one of the crayons what would your day or do?The teacher asks the students questions relating to their letter writing strategies and ideas – to summarise the lesson, identify the students level of knowledge – prior, current and new against the lessons learning objectives – the teacher writes summary points on the whiteboard – refers to the 5 w”s and 1 H, joining words – and, but, then, sentence formation letter writing strategies and format. The general consensus is that people should be able to quit an obligation or duty if it affects their personal well-being and creates a life without pleasure. This belief, however, is questioned when certain scenarios arise. Perhaps there is a family farm that will not survive if the son John does not take it over from his parents. Is he obligated to take care of the farm? If you are the only one that can do something, do you have to take on that role? Or alternatively, imagine that you are walking by a pond and see a child drowning, but you’re late to an important meeting. Are you obliged to save the child in this moment, or should you choose whether you want to save the child? If people depend on you, to what extent do you sacrifice? Social Norms Ask the children to consider why some of the crayons use capital letters in their writing. What emotion does this help them express? How could we read these bits out when we are telling the story? Help the children create ‘voices’ for the crayons when they are reading the letters out loud. The teacher asks the students questions that connect to the pre drawn table and enable the teacher to test the students’ knowledge – prior, current and new – after listening to the story. Testing students level of knowledge and understanding about the story book against their completed work and learning objectives
