About This Lesson
One day David sees a bare tree. When he gets to school, this shy young boy begins a picture of the tree. One by one his classmates come by with suggestions for the drawing. And as the drawing develops, David overcomes his shyness and finds a way to make new friends. The lesson plan for David's Drawings from Lee & Low Books includes ideas for providing a supportive introduction to the book and preparing children to read the story, suggestions for observing reading behaviors, discussion questions, ELL support, and interdisciplinary activities.
