In today’s lesson, students are introduced to the story “Tabby McTat” by Julia Donaldson, featuring a happy Tabby Cat who sings with Fred the busker until they are separated. The class uses the “I see, I think, I wonder” strategy to analyze the book cover, discussing the cats and their surroundings. Key vocabulary words such as “busker,” “checked,” “stroll,” “block,” “glossy,” and “chatting” are explained with contextual examples to enhance understanding. This lesson engages students in literary analysis and vocabulary development while exploring themes of friendship and separation.
