If You Give a mouse
a cookie!
A WebQuest for 2nd Grade Language Arts
Designed by
Mrs. Farrar
Introduction | Task
| Process | Evaluation | Conclusion
You
are home alone when an animal stops by your house and asks you for a snack.
You say, “okay” because you are nice to animals.
Ø
Will you let it in?
Ø
Will you feed it?
Ø
How long will it stay?
You
will have quite an adventure, as your ‘visitor’ wants to do many things
besides eat. Just wait until you
see what happened to the little boys in the books you’ll be reading.
Some
stories seem to go around in circles. As
soon as it ends it could start all over again.
In this Web Quest you will be making a story wheel telling the story of a
pesky visitor from the animal kingdom that wears you out.
And you were only being nice! You
will be using lots of materials to help you, including the Internet.
|
With a partner read If You Give a Mouse a Cookie &
If You Give a Moose a Muffin.
|
The books are in the classroom. Ask your teacher if you need help.
|
Complete the mouse sheet or the moose sheet that you
can get from your teacher. They
ask you questions about the book you just read.
|
|
Make a list of the things the animal wanted in one of
the books.
|
Get one set of dominoes from your teacher.
|
Make one set of dominoes containing all the items on
your list. Put them in the
right order and make them tumble in a circle.
|
|
You will be making a wheel. Find out about the word “wheel”. |

|
On the top of your paper make a sheet like the one to
the right and fill it in. On
the bottom write down the meanings, synonyms, forms, and part of speech
for “wheel”. Keep it in
mind as you make your wheel.
|
|
Think of your animal and the snack it wants.
What funny things could happen in your story?
|
Use the “kidspiration” form your teacher has set
up on that disc. She will
show you how to use it.
|
Make a wheel from construction paper.
Divide it into sections and fill in those sections as you tell your
story.

complete the worksheets, and how well you concentrate on your computer work.

Conclusion
·
You have learned how to create a story that goes in a continuous
circle. There are many other things
you could do with the two books you read. http://www.lauranumeroff.com
Perhaps you’d like to learn more about moose and mice and what they
really eat. http://www.zoobooks.com/animalsAtoZ/directory.htm
You may also choose to make a book from your wheel.
There are other books written by this author.
I hope you’ll find some of them in the classroom.
