Kate the mermaid and Dave the shark are swimming in the ocean and decide to visit their friend, Eel. Eel is sick in bed and has lost his electric charge. Eel promises he will share his plankton pie if Kate and Dave help him get his zap back, and they happily agree. Dave and Kate go to a shipwreck to look for their fish friend, Puff. The three of them think of ways to fix Eel and decide to throw him a surprise party. When Eel realizes how long his friends have been gone, he goes out searching for them and hides at the shipwreck when he thinks a shark is coming to eat him. Dave, Kate, and Puff gather up all of their friends and shout “Surprise!” in hopes of jolting Eel’s zap back into him. Unfortunately it doesn’t work, and when Dave takes a bite of the plankton pie, he bites the mast and gets stuck. While his friends help pull him off, lightning strikes the mast and Eel has his zap returned back to him.
I would work with the students to develop their oral and written communication skills through discussions and journal entries in their notebooks. We would talk about the vocabulary within the book and recognizing words using prefixes and suffixes or the root of the word. The students would respond to the text through comprehending it and analyzing the characters actions. The students would also make connections between their own life and the text and find out if modern fantasy and science fiction can have realistic elements within them. The students would jot down notes as they are reading about what they predict will happen at certain points in the story and will need to share one of their predictions aloud with the class. The students would use a thesaurus to replace certain given words within the text with words that would not change the meaning of the sentence or story if they took the place of the old word.
