Lesson Outline
"The Foot Book, Dr. Seuss's Wacky Book of Opposites" was a delightfully engaging way to introduce the concept of opposites to Gabriela and Laina. They were interested in the rhymes and illustrations and chimed in where appropriate as I read the book aloud and left room for them to verbally interject the correct rhyming opposite in the appropriate place. As preschoolers learn best through play, an effort was made to incorporate games to make the idea more real. At the end of the story, for example, we took a few minutes to summarize what the children had learned by reciting some nursery rhymes , such as "Itsy Bitsy Spider" and “Peas Porridge” explaining the words that conveyed opposite meanings and writing them down on the whiteboard. A cup full of water and one that was empty was also used as an example to concretize the abstraction. Finally, the activity that consumed most of the hour was making a Book of Opposites the girls created from pictures of opposites. I assisted the girls in cutting a variety of pictures and words that depicted opposite concepts and objects (big/little and elephant/mouse) which they then had to glue onto the corresponding name and paste them on opposite pages of a miniature craft book. The girls completed this activity and began to color some of the pages.
