Introduce Apple Pie, 4th of July to a group of third graders. Before reading, ask them what they think the book will be about. Write down their responses. Flip through the book and allow them to look at the illustrations. Ask if anyone would like to change or add to their previous responses. Make changes as needed.
After reading the book, discuss their predictions. How were they different or the same? Why did they make those predictions about the book? Which illustration made you think something would or wouldn't happen?
Extend on the lesson by allowing students to write and/or illustrate their experiences on a 4th of July and how they are different or the same as the story.
