GENRE SET-UP:
This story is a piece of fiction. When we read fiction books, or stories that are not
true, we want to be on the lookout for the characters in the story, where the story
takes place-the setting and all the different things or events that happen in the story.
STRATEGY FOCUS:
As good readers, we think about how we can connect to what we are reading.
Sometimes we can think of a time that we have done something a character does, or
maybe the book we are reading reminds us of another book we have read or
something we have seen in the world.

use to eat with instead of forks.
