When Lightning Comes in a Jar
By Patricia Polocco
Anticipation
1. Before reading the story, have students predict what the story is going to be about based on the title.

2. Before reading the story, have students fill out a graphic organizer on family reunions. This will help students better relate to the story.

2. While reading, have students fill out this graphic organizer to retell the story.
Consolidating New Understanding
1. After students have read the book, I will have them relate the story to their own experiences by having them write a story about a family reunion they have been to. If they have not been to a family reunion, then I will have them write about a time their family got together and did something.
2. To help students brainstorm these ideas, I will have them collect details through this graphic organizer.
