Author: Daniel Kirk

Illustrator: Daniel Kirk

Genre: Traditional Literature

Annotation
Humpty Dumpty is a character in an English nursery rhyme. He is portrayed as an egg and tells the reader how fell.

ELA Content Standards
Craft and Structure- Kindergarten
5.) Recognize common types of texts (eg., storybooks, poems)

How it Connects: The teacher can help the students identify the difference between Humpty Dumpty (traditional literature) and other genres.

Integration of Knowledge and Ideas- Grade 1
7.) Use illustrations and details in a story to describe its characters, settings, or events.

How it Connects: After reading the book, the teacher can go back to the illustrations on each page and talk about how the main character is an egg, what he is sitting on, and how he falls.

Tier 3 Vocabulary
cracked, fell, broken

Classroom Usage
Independent Reading: Students can read the book to themselves. After they have read the story they can practice writing their own story about a time something of theirs fell on the ground and broke. If this is too advanced for them they could draw a picture of Humpty Dumpty and have a group discussion of the book.

Differentiation
This would be a good book for ELL because it would be good to work on comprehension.
