V. Purpose: I am going to read Stand Tall Molly Lou Melon and I want you to pay attention
to the characters and how they impact the story. See if you can figure out who the
person is that encourages her and how it impacts how she lives.
VIII. Check for understanding – I will check for understanding of the story and objective
through a grand conversation. (7 min)
- I will begin our conversation by saying - talk to one another about what you
thought of the story and if you figured out who the person who encouraged Molly
was. Then I will call on some students to share.
- I will continue to ask questions, such as:
o what did you like?
o what did you think the problem in the story was?
o How did Molly Lou Melon handle it?
o What did you think of the boy in the story?
o Molly Lou Melon was picked on for how she looked because she was
different than other people. How did she respond?
o What helped her believe in herself and not the words of the boy who was
picking on her? (her grandma)
o What did her grandma do? Her grandma encouraged her. To encourage
someone means you tell them the good that you see in them.
o Who encourages you in your own life?
o I will assess whether or not I will need to ask less questions during the
lesson based on how students are responding.
______ Continuing grand conversation:
o We are all unique. What does unique mean? How was Molly unique?
o She maybe had things about herself that were different than others, but not
just on the outside – but I’m sure on the inside too. We all have different
interests and things that we are good at, as well as things that we struggle
with.

o How do you feel unique?
