Sheila Turnage's "Three Times Lucky" -- Settings and Dialogue Lesson Plan
It’s your Lucky Day! (Well, not "win-the-lottery-lucky," but lucky enough, because you have landed on a Writing Lesson Plan that will help teach SETTINGS and DIALOGUE—all in one convenient bundle! (And that’s lucky, enough, isn’t it?)
If you’ve read Sheila Turnage’s “THREE TIMES LUCKY” then you know what a treasure this book is! Sentences like, “I wouldn’t say stole…. But I did borrow it pretty strong.” (Hilarious!) AND … “By 7:30 half the town had crowded into the café and rising seventh grader Skeeter McMillan—tall, slender, freckles the color of fresh-sliced baloney—had claimed the counter’s last spot.” Gorgeous writing! Reading this book makes my fingers (literally) itch to write! I’m as confident as the plucky Mo LoBeau (this book’s hero-protagonist) that this LESSON PLAN (inspired by “Three Times Lucky”) will do the same for your students! (Ah, then they will be lucky, too!)
In this Fearless Dragon Writers, LLC Lesson Plan (created by writer and writing teacher Andrea Felcone) you will find a FULLY SCRIPTED lesson plan to teach about SETTINGS AND DIALOGUE! (Teach ONE concept at a time—but everything is here for you--A TWO-IN-ONE LESSON PLAN! SEE, I TOLD YOU THIS WAS YOUR LUCKY DAY!) This LESSON PLAN relies on Sheila Turnage’s Newbery Honor book “Three Times Lucky” as a mentor text. Turnage is an authority on her part of the world: Eastern North Carolina. And as such, the details and sensory descriptions she uses in her SETTINGS make her writing sing! This book is such a delight to teach SETTINGS as well as DIALOGUE for the same reason—she is equally in touch with the ‘undercover poetry’ of the language of the people of North Carolina. (I couldn’t pick one Writing Concept over the other, so I gave you both!) Add to that the author’s humor, and well now YOU are three times lucky indeed!
This is a fun book to teach as an example of great SETTINGS and DIALOGUE. This is a fun lesson effective for teaching young writers (ages 8 – 13), including reluctant writers!
This LESSON PLAN contains—21 pages of tested content—including Teaching Tips, Techniques, and TWO Fearless Dragon Writers' Writing Worksheets (filled with creative and humorous prompts) to inspire writers—even reluctant writers! Writing Concepts covered: SETTINGS and DIALOGUE (inner and outer dialogue) in writing.
Note: There is content here to teach for 90 minutes. You can edit to fit your class length as needed.
