Tasks Galore – Literature-Based Thematic Units, the fifth book in the popular resource series for parents, teachers, and therapists, integrates instruction across core curriculum areas by utilizing multisensory learning. Using the storybook, I’m Hungry, I’m Hungry, What Shall I Do?, as a guide for creating literature-based thematic units, the authors have designed hands-on activities for use with young learners and students with special needs. The strategies employed encourage responsiveness to literature while enhancing vocabulary and language. Tasks illustrate how to make learning more meaningful by: • Using organizational strategies and visual cues
• Connecting themes to everyday experiences
• Adapting skills for 21st century learning
• Individualizing for differing learning styles About the Storybook: Meet Triggy, a very hungry and thirsty triangle who can't decide what to eat or drink! Decisions "galore" await Triggy as he discovers tasty cafeteria treats. Children will enjoy this lively adapted book as Triggy embarks on a cafeteria adventure. Triggy enthusiastically identifies the foods, snacks, drinks, and desserts from which he can choose while his facial expressions endearingly convey his emotions as he ponders each decision. I'm Hungry, I'm Hungry, What Shall I Do?, filled with simple, brightly colored illustrations and rhyming text, will be especially appealing to younger children who are acquiring language and reading skills. Children will have fun recognizing and learning the names of various foods and drinks. The concepts in the book can inspire questions and insights from children concerning how they make their own food choices. Based on the popular board book of the same name, this adapted version was created for students who do best with a multi-modal approach to learning due to an individual learning style or disability. This engaging book utilizes fully laminated cut-out pieces and Velcro as interactive components and children will build motivation as they place each piece on the matching picture inside the book.
