are we there yet a journey around australia

After I finish reading the book to my students I would ask them following questions like, Have any of you been to Australia to visit? If some said yes I would ask them if they visited anywhere that we talked about in the book and if it was like they described? Then I would ask if any of the students had known anyone that is originally from Australia? I would asleep ask if anyone was originally born in a different country outside of North America? I will ask the students to find the similarities between them and the family that is traveling through Australia. Throughout this book we see how the family goes on a trip around Australia and get to see all the new places they visit. Lesson: I will begin by reading the book called Are we there yet? A journey around Australia by Alison Lester. I will then ask the children if the children were similar to each other and to themselves? And how? This video will show the students other children their age throughout the many places of the world. Introduction: Play the video called Children Just Like Me by DK Books on YouTube. They will be able to apply this into their writing skills.

Students will be able to identify the similarities and differences between themselves and the people in the book and video. It will show the life of people in other places and give the students an idea of the similarities between them and the people in the book. Lesson Objectives: This lesson will teach the students that no matter where you are from everyone is similar in some ways and different in their own. This will be a good opening of the lesson to grab the Children’s attention and provide a visual presentation of diversity within children. Before reading this book with my class I will show them a video to begin. It will also show many places in Australia that mean a lot there. This book will give the students a better understanding of different cultures other than their own. Throughout this book they talk about a families trip all around Australia. By using this book that was published in Australia it will incorporate international children literature into my classroom here.

For my lesson plan I have incorporated the book Are we there yet? A journey around Australia by Alison Lester into a reading/writing subject lesson.
