Have students speculate about the kind of information that might be presented in this book. Tell students that the authors use materials lists and numbered steps to explain how to make shadow puppets. Cómo piensas que podría estar organizado este libro? Activate or Build Background Discuss with students how a shadow is made. Ask them to describe places where shadows are often seen. On a sunny day, take students outside several times, once early in the morning or late in the afternoon and once at noontime. Each time, have them observe their own shadow, as well as the shadows of objects in the schoolyard. Back in the classroom, have students compare and contrast shadows cast at different times during the day. Have them speculate how the shadows might be different on a cloudy day.

The chapter sections give more specific details about the main topic. Diagrams: Turn to page 8. Tell students that this diagram shows how a shadow is made. Labels identify the materials (light and hands) and the result (a shadow). Point to the arrow labeled luz. Explain that the arrow shows the direction of the light. Icons: Have students look at the Inténtalo! box on page 9. Point out the small image next to the heading. Explain that it is an icon, a graphic symbol that marks a specific feature in a book.

Point out the shadow it makes on the wall: This is my hand s shadow. Have students repeat the sentence. Then use the flashlight to cast shadows of other objects or of students in the class. Each time, identify the shadow in a similar way (This is the chair s shadow, this is Michael s shadow, and so on) and have students repeat after you. Reread the Book Provide the materials necessary to make hand and stick puppets. As students reread the text, have them make puppets of their own. Then have them complete the graphic organizer on the back cover to summarize the steps involved in making one type of puppet. Discuss the sequential text structure in the book.

3 Learn Through the Text SCIENCE: Silhouettes Use A divertirse con sombras! to reinforce the concepts that light can cast shadows and that the size of a shadow is determined by the light source. Remind students that a shadow is made when an object blocks light and that the size of an object s shadow depends on how far it is from the light source. Explain that some artists use shadows to create pictures of people or things. These pictures are called silhouettes. Tell students that they are going to make a simple silhouette. Tape a piece of white paper or posterboard to the chalkboard. Shine light from a flashlight, slide projector, or other light source onto the paper from several feet away. Ask a volunteer to stand between the light and the paper so his or her profile is visible. Encourage students to describe how the size of the shadow could be increased or decreased to fit the paper. Model how to trace the shadow onto the piece of paper. Then show students how to cut out the shadow and color it black to complete their silhouette. Set up several silhouette stations along the chalkboard, and assist pairs of students in creating silhouettes of each other. Label the finished silhouettes, and display them on a classroom wall or along the school hallway. COMPREHENSION: Sequence of Events Explain that in a book that tells how to make or do something, it is important to pay attention to the order of steps. To give students a sense of what is involved in sequencing steps, turn to page 6 and read the general steps for how to make hand puppets. Qué debes hacer primero? Qué debes hacer después? Por qué es importante que ilumines la pared con la linterna antes de poner las manos delante de la pared? You may want to record the sequence of steps in a sequence chart. Continue by examining other sets of steps in the book. WRITING Write a Procedure Have students use what they have learned about procedural text to write directions for making another type of puppet, such as a paper bag or sock puppet. Have students work in pairs. Ask them to choose a type of puppet to write about. Model for students how to organize and draft their information into directions. Empieza por escribir un título en la parte de arriba de la página: Cómo hacer. Escribe una lista de materiales, incluyendo todo lo que se necesita para hacer la marioneta. Escribe instrucciones paso por paso para hacer la marioneta. Incluye un número para cada paso. Haz dibujos o diagramas que vayan con los pasos escritos. Añade rótulos o pies de ilustración. Encourage students to revise their drafts. Have them look for places where they might add signal words such as primero, después, luego, and por último to help readers follow the steps. When students have finished their writing, set aside time for them to read their directions aloud. If possible, have students make each others puppets and perform a puppet show for a kindergarten or first-grade class.
