Getting started with your Leo Lionni author study
Noticings
Many times starting out with “noticings” about books is a good way to get students thinking about similarities in an author’s style. If you choose to begin with noticings, try to gather enough Leo Lionni books so that each group has at least two to look through.
We have provided a graphic organizer for groups to fill out.
After giving them some time, gather them together to discuss their findings. You will find a blank noticings poster that you can use to record their ideas.
On our kindergarten site you will find a completed noticings chart in the Lionni Writing Unit we created.
