The Wind Blew by Pat Hutchins
Schema: March winds, the old saying that “March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb,” chasing something that has blown away
Cause and Effect: Because it was so windy, the effect is that everything is blowing away
Predicting: Ask the students to predict what is going to blow away next. There are clues on each preceding page of what will be next.
Sequencing: Use a sequence graphic to sequence the order of the items being blown by the wind.
Spring begins in late March so this is a good one to use for a seasonal book.
