Today students will use a variety of senses to see, hear, and feel three different stories. They will select one and explain why they like it best. |

|
2. Lesson Progression-
| Instead of reading the stories, students will use the website storylineonline.net to listen to and follow along with three different stories. Show the website to the students and show them how to select stories. Show students how to complete an information notecard. |

|
3. Guided Practice-
| Students will listen to three stories. After each story the students will fill out a notecard with the title, author, narrator, and brief summary. |
