This document provides information about activities for a lesson plan targeting the valuation of small things. It outlines three main activities: 1) A 5-minute schema activation activity involving a word search to introduce vocabulary from a story. 2) A 10-minute while-reading activity with a true/false worksheet to enable deep reading of the story details. 3) A 20-minute in-class speaking activity where students are divided into groups, assigned characters from the story, and tasked with writing 3 questions for the other character and answering questions from the other group. The goal is to help students think critically about the story and practice oral skills.
