Schema: following rules
Text-to-text connections: Pinkerton Behave by Steven Kellogg, Chewy Louie by Howie Schneider
Text-to-self connections: ask students to share the bad behavior of their dogs or pets
Sequencing and Organizational Strategy: The book follows the days of the week as Toby either behaves or misbehaves.
Cause and Effect: Because Toby misbehaves, the effect is his owners send him to dog obedience school.
Compare and Contrast: Compare the ways students misbehave with the ways Toby misbehaves. What type of training could students go to in order to learn how to behave better?
