problem look like?
Would you have a big dark cloud above your head?
How do you fell when you have a problem? Do you feel upset,
scared, angry, confused, anxious?
I want you to use colors into your picture.
So I could maybe draw a person with a confused look on his
face with a dark cloud above his head.

Story

Now on your worksheet, I would like you to draw and color what
is looks like when you have a problem.
We will move to the carpet, rows at a time, not all at once.
Once students are finished and quiet, students will move to the
carpet to listen the story.
I will then read the story.

Drawing
Time:
7 minutes

Periodically stopping to ask students questions about the book.

What do you think about the colors? What colors do we have?
Are they dark?
What about the expressions on the characters face?
How do you think he feels?
When the page come where the problem is swirling around him,
what do you think about this illustration? Does it look like the
problem is swallowing him up?
Does he look determined? What changes about his expression?
When the colors start to change?
What do you think about the expressions?
Does he look powerful and strong?
Does it look happy and bright, determined, powerful?

10
minutes

Okay, now that we have read the book, has anything changed
for you?
Can we look at a problem differently now?
When we have a problem, we can now choose to look at it with
a positive attitude. We can now use determination, strength,
and problems can have a happy outcome.

Worksheet and
Drawing Activity
Part two.

Consolidation of
Learning:
Feedback to
Students

Sometimes if we have an argument with a friend or family

member sometimes it can feel like the world is ending, but if we
look at like we can get that stuff in the open then students can
find the light in it.
We can say what is bothering us maybe, and come out with a
stronger relationship.
Now I would like you to draw on the worksheet what a problem
looks to you now?
Has it changed at all?
Is there now some new emotions that you would like to draw,
are the colors different now that we have discussed how a
problem could look like?
Closure
The worksheet will be an assessment if the students took
anything away from the story.
The story is intended to change how students think about a
problem. They will think it is different now.
Thank you for having me in your room guys! And letting me
read to you. It was wonderful and have a good rest of your day.
