About The Book
Where to begin...I fell in love with this New York Time Best Seller! My Name is Not Isabella, is a fun imagination filled read! Isabella is young girl who seeks adventure and does so by chaining who she is. Her first adventure is being Sally, an astronaut! Her roles take on different characters, such as Rosa an activist on a bus, or Marie a scientist. The book brings, science, history, strength and learning together. Its readers get this feeling of empowerment, allowing themselves to dream big and to take on any role they to conquer!
Lesson
Purpose: To understand what a fiction book is while taking part in creative writing!
Pre-assessment: Have fiction written on the board and ask student what is means when a is under the genre of fiction? Be sure to mention that today we will be focusing on fiction and creating our own fictional story with creative writing.
Lesson: After reading the book talk about the term fiction again and ask students why this is a fiction book. The have a class discussion on the different roles that Isabelle played. Afterwards have students brainstorm different roles that they can play. Then hand out a web and and let the student pick a role. Then they need to decided on plot, characters, what they will be doing..etc. Once this is done then students can write their own creative story, then read it to the class. After wards the class can over why everyones story was fictional.
Post assessment: Look at creative paper written, and the last discussion on fictional stories.
