For the ClassroomPre-Reading Activity: I would hand out an anticipation guide about the book Sylvester and the Magic Pebble. When students have finished answering the questions, we would review the sheet as a whole class by having students raise their hand if they agree or disagree with each statement.
Post-Reading Activity: After we have finished reading the book, we would as a class work on a story map. Since this would be their first time using this type of graphic organizer, it would be a time to model how to use it. When finished, I would review the basics of a story map and why we use it, to better prepare the students for the future when they have to work on it independently.
Reflection: Reading this Caldecott Medal winning book, I realized why it received the award. The illustrations are different, yet great. They are accompanied with a great story of the importance of family and how a community pulls together to help those in need. Aside for the lessons it teaches students, the number of activities that could be done with this book are endless, such as sequencing of events, cause and effect, mapping, and using context clues. Reading this story, I didn't think it would have a happy ending, but fortunately, it does. This is a book children will surely love and become a story they want to hear over and over again.

1. Sarah - 1/5 stars - I watched the official teaser for "Cherry Magic Thailand" and I have to say, I was extremely disappointed. The acting was mediocre at best, and the storyline seemed overly cliché. It felt like a cheap imitation of other Thai BL dramas that I have seen before.

Overall, I was left feeling underwhelmed and uninterested in continuing with this show.

On one hand, the production quality and aesthetics were visually appealing, and it had the potential to be a promising Thai BL series.
