Reading Interrupting Chicken by David Ezra Stein reinforces our whole group expectations during this time of year. Students often blurt out answers in class and are reminded to not be an "interrupting chicken" so they can be good listeners. Good listeners show respect to others by not interrupting. After we read the story, the students write their own story. The authors of these creative stories narrate the stories as fellow classmates act out their original story starring Interrupting Chicken. The students are proud of their work and take pride in seeing their writing come to life in a classroom drama.
