> I thought I'd share a successful lesson I had.
>
> I told my fourth graders to try to figure out the pattern
> for what Silly Sally likes and does not like.
>
> I wrote on the board that :
> Silly Sally likes dogs but doesn't like barking.
> She likes food but not eating.
> She likes trees but not climbing.
> She likes books but not reading.
> She likes chairs but not sitting.
>
> I asked for volunteers to suggest other likes and dislikes.
> Even my slowest students caught on and we had FUN doing it!
>
> Naturally, I explained the pattern. Sally likes nouns but
> not verbs. On Tuesday I will put them in cooperative
> groups to make up more of their own. I will head the likes
> and dislikes columns with NOUNS and VERBS.
