Tag’s First Day at School by Jodi Goldberg
Schema: first days of school, third grade, speaking in front of the class, telling something about yourself
Text-to-self connections: being afraid to speak in front of the class, not listening to others and thinking about what you want to say instead
Drawing Conclusions: Tag draws the conclusion that it is not important what others think of her, only what she thinks of herself.
Text-to-text connections: First Day Jitters by Julie Danneberg, Franklin Goes to School by Paulette Bourgeois.
Synthesis: Ask students to talk about how they cope with fear on first days of a new grade.
